Students who score a Superior at Thespys will be invited to submit a recording of their performance or presentation for the Washington State Thespy Showcase at the Closing Ceremonies of our Washington State Thespian Festival.

Showcased Tech presentations will display in the theater lobby throughout the Festival and be honored during the Showcase Ceremony.

Attend a wide variety of student performances as well as production and performance-based workshops taught by College and National Clinicians. Students decide on what workshops and performances they wish to attend.

These are new additions to this year's event. Students will receive opportunities to learn some new tech skills and then put them to use in a fun and competitive nature.

Troupe Directors are invited to a meeting on the Saturday of festival. You can learn important dates, information and new ways to be involved in Washington State Thespians and International Thespians (EdTA)!

Our State Thespian Officers (STO) organize and plan a Lip Sync Battle as one of the Friday night event options. If you have a group that wants to participate, please complete this Lip Sync Battle Sign-Up Form. Performances need to be 5 minutes or less and must involve a group lip-syncing to a Musical Theatre (or Musical Theatre adjacent) song.

If your group has any questions, please email our STO Co-Chair, Dallas Myers at dmyers@osd.wednet.edu.

At the check-in table Friday morning, students may sign up to act in staged readings of the top Playwriting Thespy scripts! This opportunity will have one rehearsal workshop session and an additional performance workshop session.
