The Texas Thespians are theatre students and their directors interested in all aspects of theatre and drama from working backstage on scenery, costumes, make up, and props to singing, dancing, and acting on the stage.  We are an educational society dedicated to encouraging and improving the skills of theatre students in Texas. Any public or private school in Texas is invited to become a member troupe.

Schools that are members of the International Thespian Society (ITS) are automatically members of the Texas Thespians. To become a member of ITS, contact the Educational Theatre Association, the parent organization of ITS, for complete information and an application.
