To participate, students must be inducted Thespians and members of an active troupe. Students DO NOT have to attend the State Conference in order to submit a Thespy this year.

Jan 3-21 - Judging period
Jan 29th - PA Thespy Superiors announced
Students may participate in 2 Thespy events - just not 2 of the same Thespy event. 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.

Students should refrain from wearing anything that might distract the judges, thus lowering their score.
