  • 1.  Delayed Induction Materials

    Members,

    I want to apologize to those of you who have recently processed inductions and are still waiting on your supplies. There are a number of issues that have contributed to the delay in processing of these orders. I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused many of you with your end of year induction ceremonies. I assure you that my team and I are working as hard as we can to get your orders processed and shipped as quickly as possible. Please continue to extend grace and kindness to our membership staff who are doing all that they can to support you right now.

    So that you have something to give your students in the meantime, I have attached fillable PDF induction certificates for both Thespians and Junior Thespians. All you have to do is save the files locally to your computer, fill in the variable data fields, and save/print. These are standard 8.5"x11" templates.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding during this very challenging time. We know how much induction means for your students, especially after the last two years, so we will continue to do our best to deliver the service you expect from us.

    Sincerely,



    ------------------------------

    Thank you! My induction is in three hours, and I was just sitting here wishing I had something better to give my inductees than a slapped-together handmade certificate and a socially-distanced handshake. These will be lovely.

    And, thankfully, none of this year's inductees are seniors, so I can get them their REAL swag when we come back in the fall.

    Desperate times. Thanks for all you do to support our young artists.

    Hello Hans,

    Any chance you have a certificate for Honorary Thespians?  I'm inducting two tonight and would love to have something to hand out to them.  :)
