Beginning with the 2016-17 school year, members of the North Hills High School Drama Club have the ability to join our local Troupe #908 of the International Thespian Society. As members of ITS, students are honored on a national level and have access to resources beyond those of the school:
How does it work?
The ITS group at each school is known as a troupe and is led by a troupe director, usually the school's theatre teacher. The troupe is the schools theatre honor society, and students earn induction based on their achievements in its theatre program.
The ITS point system guides help track student work in performance, tech, and production staff categories. In fact, inductees must earn points over the course of more than one production and in more than one discipline. Thespian troupes include students in grades 9-12 who have completed at least 100 hours of excellent work. Students continue to earn ITS points beyond induction to achieve progressively higher honors. Academic achievement is rewarded as well - a GPA of 3.0 earns inductees the first of the three ITS scholar distinctions.
- ITS state and national events, including the International Thespian Festival, with workshops, college and scholarship auditions, as well as opportunities to showcase and receive assessment on tech and performance skills.
- A membership card, certificate, and induction pin.
- Thespians receive print and digital subscriptions to Dramatics magazine, the only publication edited exclusively for theatre students and teachers.
- Student leadership opportunities at the troupe, state, and national levels that provide forums to learn and put their leadership skills to work.
- ITS honor society membership to enhance college and employment applications.
