Thespys™
These performance and technical events are used in many of the classes. They are a basis for evaluating student performance in monologues, duet & group scenes, musical theatre, stage management, design, costume construction, theatre marketing, makeup and short film projects. Educational Theatre Association has written rules for these events and performance based assessments that are based on state and national curriculum for theatre. Students who excel at these events can compete at the Kansas Thespian Festival. Students that receive a superior at the Kansas Thespian Festival will qualify to compete at the International Thespian Festival. The following links provide more information about the Thespys.
