Hey Texas Thespians! During this quarantine, my fellow State Thespian Officers and I have had to adjust to a new way of living...just like you all. Despite many things trying to bring down our moods, we have persevered and found joy in the simplest of things. Thus, I bring you a very chaotic, creative list of questions that have been answered by each STO. We hope our answers can remind you to stay positive and fill your days with fun.
