The Indiana Thespians recognizes those troupes who achieve a high level of excellence both on stage and off by sponsoring the Indiana Thespian Honor Troupe! This achievement is meant for those troupes who do tremendous work in their school and community and should be recognized. There is no limit to the number who can apply or be recognized each year.

Troupes complete and submit a portfolio, slide show, video, or “brag book” about the positive impact your troupe made throughout the previous year in the areas of Theatre Production, Participation, Theatre Outreach, and Community Service. An Honor Troupe year begins July 1st and ends June 30th. Awards will be presented at the Indiana Thespian State Conference in January. A framed certificate will be given to each school that earns a Bronze or Silver ranking, and a plaque will be ordered for those who attain a Gold raking. In addition, each school will receive a letter addressed to their principal
celebrating their achievement!
