    If you have significant theatre experience, objective evaluation skills, and good writing skills we want you to be trained to adjudicate plays and musicals for Festival and for feedback/scoring to Troupe Directors. 
     
    Our adjudicators provide a great service to Thespians and Directors. Adjudicating is done virtually, so it can be done in the convenience of your home. With the expansion of adjudicating going beyond just scoring to select shows to be on the main stage at the International Thespian Festival, we are looking for more trained adjudicators to help in the process for troupes that are looking to be adjudicated just for feedback and scoring. 
     
    The next in-person training session will be Thursday, September 29th from 1-4pm Pacific time (4-7 Eastern) before the beginning of the Theatre Education Conference. This training session can be attended in person or virtually.
     
    Please use this link to sign up for an in person or virtual slot. If you are interested but are not available for this session, please let us know on this form as well. 

    thanks,
    Mark Zortman, 
    Festival Main Stage Adjudication Committee Chair

    As someone who has adjudicated in person at the regional and state level and virtually for regionals, state and international, I can speak to how gratifying the experience is. Having the opportunity give feedback to theatre learners has been a learning experience for me as well. I  would highly encourage folks to give it a try.
