TA Drama Charters Official Troupe with International Thespian Society
June 10, 2025
The Thetford Academy Drama Department is proud to announce the chartering of an official troupe with the International Thespian Society (ITS), the honor society for high school theatre students. Being approved to form a troupe is a significant achievement that reflects the strength and dedication of TA’s theatre program. The application process requires schools to demonstrate a commitment to theatre education, student achievement, and program sustainability—making this recognition a true honor.
Founded in 1929, the International Thespian Society has a long and respected history of celebrating excellence in theatre arts. As part of this global organization, Thetford students will now have the opportunity to earn national recognition for their theatrical work, participate in festivals and competitions, and join a community of over 2 million student thespians who have been inducted since ITS’s founding. This milestone marks an exciting new chapter for theatre at Thetford Academy.
Congratulations to the following students, who were officially inducted into ITS in a ceremony on Thursday.
