Troupe showcase

Submit Troupe Showcase application
Applications are due by November 5th
​

         Troupe Showcase presentations are to provide more students attending the State Conference opportunities to perform at the conference. This showcase is for troupes who are NOT presenting a Main Stage or One Act production.
          Make sure you have the rights to perform whatever it is you are planning to do. As a good rule of thumb, use the Thespy rules for acting and musical rights. We do not need to have you send us the same information that is requested for Thespys, but we will expect that you have secured the rights to perform whatever you select.

Submitting a Video for a Troupe Showcase event....
To submit a video application - video your complete performance (based on the guidelines). Create a YouTube account, or use an account one of your students or your school already has created. Upload your video and (unless you want otherwise) list it as UNLISTED.

Making a video unlisted means that only people who have the link to the video can view it. To share an unlisted video, just share the link with the people who you’d like to have access to it, and they’ll be able to see it. Unlike private videos, the people you share the video with do not need to have a Google account to see the video, and they can share with more people simply by forwarding the link to them. Unlisted videos won’t appear in any of YouTube’s public spaces, like your channel page or search results, but it could appear elsewhere on the web if you or anyone who you shared the video with shares it more broadly (which PA Thespians WILL NOT do). Your YouTube account needs to be in good standing to be able to create unlisted videos.
