To Become a Member:

In order to become an active member of the Thespian Honor Society the student must display a working knowledge of how to mount a full production. This knowledge is displayed in test form. In addition to this knowledge, the student must accumulate the minimum number of hours required in each of the following areas:

             Scenic Tech Crew..................................................        5 hours

             Costume Tech Crew .............................................         5 hours

             Lighting Tech Crew..............................................           5 hours

             Props Tech Crew ..................................................         5 hours

             Stage Manage/ASM .............................................        10 hours

             Community Service …………………………......                10 hours

                                                                                 TOTAL:   60 Hours

Each student is required to maintain a log of the time she worked. At the end of each workday, the student should report to the production director to sign off on the student’s time log. If more than 4 months pass without a signature from the production director, the student’s hours will not count towards Thespian Honor Society credit. Once the student has earned her 60 hours, the student should then fill out the application form, attach a copy of the production programs where she earned the hours, and request an interview date from the club sponsor. If done efficiently, the student should be able to earn enough points in one year to gain membership status.
