JUNIOR THESPIANS DISTRICT TWELVE:
Beverley Shanahan, District Chair
The International Thespian Society (ITS) is the student component of the Educational Theatre Association. ITS is divided into state chapters, which are further divided into Districts. ITS is designed to be an honorary organization that recognizes and rewards excellence among the participants in the theatre arts programs. Junior Thespian membership should be viewed as an honor and a goal to which participants in your theatre arts program aspire. The festivals are approved and recognized by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NAASP).
