What is a Thespian?
Thespians are students in grades 9-12 who excel in theatre. To be inducted, one must obtain 25 Thespian points (each point is approximately 5 hours of work) and 3 concessions points. Students participate in shows either by being an actor or working a technical crew, such as costumes, set decoration, set construction, hair and makeup, publicity, electricians, backstage audio, sound board, light board, props, stage crew, assistant directing, or stage management. Chino Hills High School inducts new thespians once a year at our annual theatre banquet. Once inducted, you are a thespian for life.
What is the California State Thespian Festival?
Troupe 6757 attends the California State Thespian Festival when production schedule permits. The California State Thespian Festival features numerous performances presented by high school students from throughout the state. Students may participate in a variety of workshops led by theatre professionals, perform or view individual performance and tech events, audition for scholarships, talk to college representatives, shop with commercial vendors selling theatre merchandise, and hang out with 1200 other California Thespians.
