What is Leadership Academy?

The Leadership Academy is a year-long training program for  the developed troupe, the struggling troupe, and the troupe that is transitioning to new leadership.

Troupes are provided opportunities to learn “Best Practices” through supplemental information and guides shared online throughout the year.  

Troupes around Texas participate in both the Leadership Days and Texas Thespian Leadership Academy, which develops leadership skills, improves troupe dynamics, and teaches Troupe Officers how to advocate for Theatre in their schools and communities.

Those troupes who attain Honor Troupe status are awarded a plaque and a banner and are featured in social media.

​Join the Leadership Academy and take your troupe to new heights! 
​These additional guides will be released monthly and include check-in points for your troupe to work toward the recognition of Honor Troupe.  The following months will be dedicated to each additional “best practices” tools.
