Hi Emily!
The answer is yes to both of your questions! Students can join their school's ITS troupe, even if they reside in a different state. Also, students that do not have a troupe at their own school are eligible to be inducted into a nearby troupe in another state, given they have met the induction requirements set by that troupe and their administration.
If you have any other questions, our Membership Team is happy to help at members@schooltheatre.org.
