NEW this year - students may participate in 1 performance and 1 technical Thespy (but not 2 performance or 2 technical Thespys.) The cost is $15 per person (for each event) paid when you submit to OpenWater. 


Dress: Dress neatly in simple, modest outfits in black or dark colors. To understand styles that constitute this “business casual” tone, see these examples or search the web for “business casual for students.” No theatrical makeup is allowed. Costumes are not allowed. Students should refrain from wearing anything that might distract the judges, thus lowering their score.

PA THESPY INFO
​1. 
All Thespy registration applications are due by November 1st. One registration is needed for each Thespy. If you are part of a duet/group, please have 1 person complete the google form as a representative for your duet/group. (You will need to submit everyone's full name and email address.) If you are doing a Tech and Performance Thespy you need to complete 2 different applications.
2. Students are responsible for securing all performance rights for Acting and Music Thespys (See link above for approved performance material)
3. All Thespys will be virtual. Students will need to record themselves and submit and upload all of the auditions and presentations no later than December 31st.  
4. For Performance Thespys, you will need to record your performance. You can either upload a video of that performance or share the link to for performance in your application.
5. For Tech Thespys, you will need to create digital files of everything you are to present and instead of a live Q & A with the judges, there are questions for you to answer.
