Event Details

Thespians are an international honorary society for students that participate in their high school theatre program. The CMHS Thespian Troupe #3811 does not have a specific meeting time, but many Thespians choose to participate with CMHS Drama Club and attend conventions and play performances with Drama Club members. In order to become a Thespian, students must acquire 10 points, which is equal to about 100 hours of service to their school's Theatre program. Points are determined by a scale created by ITS (Int'l Thespian Society) and coincide with size/length of play production, size of role, leadership positions for crews etc. Students acquire points by performing in Cheyenne productions, technical theater work on Cheyenne productions (lights, sound, costumes etc.) and through participation with some CMHS Drama Club activities, (ushering, attending conventions and workshops, attending shows at other high schools, etc.). Students are inducted into the Troupe each May at the Drama Awards ceremony and remain lifelong members of the Thespian Organization. Students may continue to earn points for various titles (Honor Thespian) and are eligible to audition for colleges and scholarships at Thespian Conventions at the state and national level. Thespians are often able to attend other High School productions for free by showing their Thespian Badge/ID Card.
