I always refer to the Thespian Society as an
Honor Society for Theatre Arts. Being a Thespian gives our students a little advantage at our school. They get first dibs on field trips, have a star after their names in the program for our shows, and they get to wear the honor cord at graduation.
This is my quick summary to get kids curious.

Subject: Thespian troupe - how to excite students!
Hellooo!
I am excited to be initiating a thespian troupe at our school. I work at an international school in Lisbon, and many of these kids have no idea what a thespian troupe is or why they should join. During covid times, I think it's even harder to get this started but admin wants me to take off with it now. So, I am going to talk to some students, but I would also like to include something in the morning announcements. By any chance, do any of you have something you wrote that you may share with me? I am having a hard time finding a way to summarize it all in a few seconds.
Thanks!
