TEXAS THESPIANS

Pets. They help us get through some tough times and entertain us constantly. This year, the STO’s had the opportunity to bring their pets to festival! From Calico cats, Bulldogs, and bunnies, the STO’s pets made appearances in workshops and gained attention from thespians all over Texas. Here are the Official Pets of the STO Board! STO: Bradyn Pet’s name: Oliver Breed: Shih Tzu Age: 14 years! “He's basically blind now, so he just stumbles around now and again. He'll bump into a wall or bark at a door where nobody's at, but when he gets excited, he likes to run around and play with our other pets. This was like last week, he barked up at me to let him up on my bed, and when I did, he cuddled right up next to me, which he never used to do.” STO: Megan Pet’s name: Piper Breed: Bulldog Age: 8 “She got stung by bees because she was trying to eat them, so her face was very puffy. When I would leave for school, she used to sit on my backpack and try to intervene by getting my backpack so I wouldn't leave.” STO: Piper Pets’ names: Pancho and Cisco Breed: Airedale Terriers Age: 5 “They tried to eat the sprinklers. When I’m sad they guard me when I sleep. One time they both escaped from our yard and after searching for them for two hours we found them in the garage eating their dog food. Whenever I’m taking them for a walk and a stranger walks by, they start to circle me to protect me.” STO: Annie Pet’s name: Casper Breed: Maltese Schnauzer Age: 9 “We went on a vacation, so she angrily pooped in the foyer on the tile so it was easy to clean, but at the front door where it’s a statement. She freaks out during the rain so she comes into my room (I am her favorite) and she gets under my blankets, it’s very cute.” STO: Brenna Pet’s name: Allie Breed: Mixed but mainly Catahoula Age: 3 “Allie is a VERY crazy dog and super fast too, like literally sprints faster than Usain Bolt. So over the beginning of quarantine, we took her on walks/runs almost three times a day sometimes. We decided to have a little inside joke that we were training her to be a sled dog lol. When we first got her, she was super shy, and one day during the summer, she literally just laid at my feet for like 3 hours. It was so cute. Now she is rambunctious and never stops running.” STO: Lia Pet’s name: Noodles Breed: Dwarf Lionhead bunny Age: 3 “Noodles likes to chew things, and I was holding her one time wearing my favorite dress. Within seconds she had chewed two penny sized holes in the dress. I was not happy with her to say the least. I also have to watch her very carefully because she’s almost blind. She falls off my bed a lot, but she’s like a cat: lands on her feet every time.” STO: Alyssa Pet’s name: Sky Breed: We’re waiting to get her DNA test back because her & her brothers/sisters came from a rescue & only one of the parents are known but they’re a mix of Shepherd & Border Collie Age: almost 4 months “A funny memory is difficult because this little pup is CRAZY, but the funniest thing she does is she gets in the way ALL the time, like seriously I think she does it on purpose. She trips us up all the time and is so nosey. We got my pupper from a rescue, and the day we picked her up from the foster mama, she was so cuddly with me. The whole ride back home she clung to me & would NOT let go.” STO: Campbell Pet’s name: Dixie Belle aka “Ditty” Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Age: 9 “Dixie is what I would consider an icon. She does everything on her own time and sometimes it can be very comical. For instance: I have a heated blanket and when she lays on it my mom has to pick her up after because she will not move. When we were looking for a dog, we went to a shelter in Houston. We said we wanted to see her, and when they brought her into the meeting room, she jumped on all of us and uncontrollably licked us. She knew we were her family before we did. WE LOVE DIXIE!!” STO: Cody Pet’s name: King (M) and Venus (F) Breed: Pitbull Age: 10+ “They tore up my workout bench, but one time I fell asleep on them in my backyard. I was so comfortable, and that’s when they were small. I just felt the love from them, and I felt so safe in that moment.” STO: Avery Pet’s name: Bebe Breed: Tuxedo cat Age: 6 “She always shoves her face in my face when I’m taking pictures of myself crying. She always cuddles with me when I’m sad. Bebe will perfectly fit herself into the crook of my arm and just lay there till I feel better- she’s like my unofficial therapy cat.” STO: Victoria Pet’s name: Her full name is Coraline, but we mostly call her Cora. Breed: Calico cat. Age: 1 “A funny memory with her is one time she was leaping around my bathroom and eventually fell into the toilet. My favorite memory with her is how every night she comes and lays with me for a while. (It's not necessarily a singular memory, but it's still something really sweet that she does).” STO: Jackson B. Pet’s name: Rookie Breed: Poodle Schnauzer Age: 6 “He somehow escaped the house for 2 hours. Then we heard barking at our front door, and he's just sitting on our porch waiting to get back in. He had gotten extremely sick, and we had to take him to the vet. We found out he was diabetic, and he wasn't bouncing back. We were going to sign to put him down, but the pen would not work; we decided to give it one more day. The next day he had the same amount of energy he did when he was 2 years old. It was amazing! STO: Elisa No pet :( “I want a Corgi because they are small, cute, sassy (like me) and I love their cute little butts. I would name my Corgi Cheddar.” STO: Jackson L. No pet :( “I would want a Dalmation because they’re super cute, and I would name him Spots.” STO: Jarrett No pet :( “I would want a Mini Dachshund, and I would name it Ollie Purr.” Did you attend workshops with your pets? We want to see! Send us pictures of you and your pets through instagram. If you don’t have a pet, what would you want? Give your pets a treat for us. Sincerely, Your 2020 Texas State Thespian Officers

Hello Texas Thespians! Our final Super Saturday is upon us, and what an amazing experience it has been. We’ve seen so many of you thespians showcase your theatrical greatness for the past 2 months, and we could not be happier! However, there is one special group of people that are often underappreciated that deserve some attention. We are turning the spotlight to the techies and showcasing the incredible individual event of the Technician Quiz Bowl Challenge! We interviewed Charlie Woods, event coordinator, to get the inside scoop. What is the Quiz Bowl Challenge? “Quiz Bowl is an Individual competition. There is a morning QuizBowl session and an afternoon session and each will contain 40-50 multiple choice questions, covering a wide variety of technical theatre topics, including basic stagecraft, make-up, lighting, sound, costumes, props and design,” Charlie Woods, Tech team Challenge Coordinator said. “The sessions are created on the Quizzes program and students get points for correct answers and points for how quickly they get the correct answer. The link to each session is available for 2 hours and open to any TTVF attendee.” How do you compete in the Quiz Bowl Challenge? “Students can participate in each of the 6 quiz bowl sessions, but can only make 1 attempt for each session,” Woods said. “Students must use their last name and troupe number as their session ID. 1st and 2nd place winners from each session will advance to the finals round on Dec 5th. The Finals quiz bowl will contain more difficult questions including Theatre engineering, electronics, and problem solving questions.” Here are a few examples of the questions you might see during the Tech Quiz Bowl Challenge: In rigging " SWL" stands for ? A. Standard Weight and Length B. Safe Working Load C. Steel Weight loaded Calculate the Amperage draw of 5 LED striplights daisy chained together powered from one 120v 20A circuit. Each fixture is rated at 250 watts each. A. 10.4 A B. 9.7A C. 11.3A D. 8.5A What troupes have participated thus far? Both Jr High and High School Thespian troupes have participated. Here are some of the Troupe #'s who have participated: 7585, 1212, 1053, 4169, 8888, 0241, 311, 5872, 1790. What is your favorite part about being able to do the tech quiz bowl? “That it provides our tech students another opportunity to demonstrate their skills and talents,” Woods said. “Hopefully it challenges them to learn and develop more skills and knowledge about the tech side of theatre and to go beyond what they are learning in their classes and own productions.” What school(s) are currently in the lead? Since this is an individual competition, points are awarded to the individuals from those Troupes. Currently, the following troupes have won first or second place in the last Super Saturday Quiz Bowl sessions: 7586, 7585, 3376, 1212. The STO’s are so excited to find out the results of this incredible new event and cannot wait to experience one last Super Saturday with all of you spectacular thespians on December 5th!

Hello Texas Thespians! At our second Super Saturday, we dove into our leadership workshop, entitled the Ringleader’s Toolbox. For those who missed this workshop, we want to share it with every Texas Thespian. Our goal is to express the many ways troupe leaders can use their toolbox and form connections to benefit their troupe in the best possible ways. In our toolbox, we have FIVE tools. These are the tools we use to run a successful and cohesive state leadership board. Our toolbox consists of blueprints, a level, a hammer, a screwdriver, and a wrench. Now, you’re probably wondering what we actually mean by these items. Don’t worry. We are about to demonstrate each of these tools and show the connections all of us can make. Hammer: We use this for our actions. As a leader, you need to mean what you say. Don’t just say things in order to get votes or approval from your troupe members or directors. We know it’s been said so many times before, but your actions will always speak louder than your words. As a leader, you need to understand that the actions that need to be taken in your troupe can not just be taken on by one person. As nice as it is to have the satisfaction of doing something all by yourself, oftentimes matters of change needed to be done in your troupe or department are too difficult to take on by yourself. Don’t be afraid to reach out to your fellow troupe members, officers, and your directors. Reaching out for help shows that you are wanting the best for your department, and you just need some extra help. Finally, you can not take action unless you use your entire toolbox. This goes along with every single tool in your toolbox, you can’t just take one tool out and expect it to fix everything, you need to use all of them together in order to reach success in your department. Blueprint: Otherwise known as our Leader’s Mission, your blueprint serves to help understand that leadership should never be self-centered. Instead, it should be focused on improving your troupe, department, and school as a whole. Always keep in mind why you’re doing what you’re doing. Are you doing it for the title, or are you doing it because you think it’s going to make your troupe better? Establishing a Leader’s Mission at the beginning of the year gives you the ability to think about what you’re doing and check if it is on track with your original plan for the year. If it isn’t, it reminds you to get back on track to make sure you’re doing what needs to be done for your troupe. Additional ways to make sure you’re following your Leader’s Mission are to always serve others before yourself, do things that help benefit the troupe as a whole, and make sure that you’re creating a brighter future for your troupe and the many thespians that will venture through your department in years to come. Screwdriver: This is your tool for communication. Communication is one of the most important things needed in your troupe. You can’t do anything unless you are open and willing to communicate with every single member of your troupe, every officer on your board, your directors, and your teacher. There are many ways to communicate. You can use Instagram, Remind, Twitter, Google Classroom, and so many more. Having communication in your troupe is incredibly important because it establishes an open line for everyone in your troupe, whether they need to reach out, if they have questions, or if they just need someone to talk to. Additionally, this allows for you to share information quicker. It gives the ability to connect with members of your department and establishes necessary equality and trust with every member. Communication is an essential way to accomplish your goal as a leader, bring an open environment to your troupe, and make everything you plan to do throughout the year that much easier. Level: We use this for level-headed leadership. A level itself is used to make sure that things are balanced and have a good foundation. You should never build things on an uneven foundation, and that’s exactly what level-headed leadership is for. Keeping a level head as a leader is required. Keeping this level-headedness allows you to make sure you’re staying on track in reaching and achieving your goals you created in your Leader’s Mission, as well as helps you lead with integrity and accountability. Not only does it help you as a person and a leader, but it also helps you feel empathetic towards other people’s situations, and shapes you more from a leader into a friend, which is a great type of leadership. These discussions that will come out of being a level-headed leader will lead you to finding new discoveries and achieving new and bigger things than you had originally envisioned. Remember, good leaders work alone, but great leaders work together. Wrench: We use this tool to tighten up all your loose pieces, or your officer board. We understand that all schools may have different boards, whether it be an officer board with titles and specific jobs, or a committee style board where everyone works together as an entire unit to accomplish things. Both of these leadership styles are phenomenal, so don’t be deterred if boards around you have officers and you are serving on a committee style board. Every board will have different combinations of positions. Some of the most common jobs include your Chair/President, Vice Chair/Vice President, Social Media Chair, Social Events Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, Grade Liaisons, Historian and so many more. We touched on an agenda for your board meetings this year, and even with everything going on in our world, there are so many ways you can make meetings just as fun. Don’t make it obvious that things are different than the years prior, just dive into everything and make it no different than how it would’ve been in the years prior. Treat all events and meetings the same way but with a new, fun virtual twist. This wraps up our tools, but we also gave more information on how we can connect as leaders and opportunities Texas Thespians can attain. We also want you to know about a few other opportunities that exist. Scholarships, Grants, and ITO: You can apply for scholarships and grants, as well as apply for an International Thespian Officer, through the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) website. Under the Programs drop down at the top of the page, click the section that says “Awards, Grants, and Scholarships”, and click the “Get Started” button. Through that, you can view the dozens of opportunities that EdTA has to offer for Texas Thespian leaders. However, due to COVID-19, applying for an International Thespian Officer may be different this year, and for those who are interested in applying, make sure to check the website for updates on applying for these positions. Wildfire vs. Campfire Leaders: We also discussed different styles of leadership, as well as good and bad ways to lead. You want to make sure you are always being a campfire leader and not a wildfire leader. Campfire leaders are warm, comforting, and bring all of thespians together; wildfire leaders are controlling, demanding, and often drive members away. Also discussed were the ways a ringleader leads. Whether you are more of a slow or fast leader, or if you are task or people oriented, you are actually a combination of all four. None of these styles of leadership are above the others; you need to have a combination of all four in order to run a successful department and be a leader of all people. Poor Group Dynamics: Next, we talked about poor group dynamics and the ways that we can fix these problems. It is inevitable to face a disagreement within your department, but we have to remember that not all forms of conflict are bad. Through conflict, we can always find ways to improve. You must retain your professionalism, remember to keep an open mind and continue to stay in good character. Leaders also need to practice neutralism. As a leader, you need to face the problem at hand, not the people. Problem Solving Pyramid: As a secondary addition to conflict, we talked about our problem solving pyramid. There are five steps in your problem solving pyramid, and they go in order: define your problem, break down the parts and issues people feel or see, brainstorm solutions, work through possible outcomes, move forward to solve the best you can. After that, it’s game time! Put your solution into play, and once the problem is solved, you are able to look back and see how you grew and improved as a troupe. Connections: After this, we dove into our connections section of the presentation, where we discussed the benefits of connections with your troupe, your school, troops around you, and your community. Having connections gives you the ability to grow and expand as a troupe. It draws attention to what you’re doing as a theatre department and gives you the stepping stones to do bigger and better things, like advocate for Theatre In Our Schools Month in your hometown. The easiest ways to make connections are to reach out to businesses and companies around you. Look for mutually beneficial relationships, and reach out to those with similar interests. The worst thing they can do is say no, so don’t be afraid to throw your hat into the ring. Well, Texas Thespians, that’s it for our leadership recap! If this speaks to you, join us on December 5th to take the workshop with us live. We can’t wait to see all of you at our next Super Saturday, and we hope you have all had an absolutely fabulous time at Texas Thespian State Festival so far. Keep sending in pictures, stories, duck tales, and more. See you soon, Your 2020 Texas State Thespian Officers By: STO Piper Daniell, Midway HS, Troupe 4770
Each year at Texas Thespian Festival, a large group of young Thespians aim towards becoming an STO for the following year. In order to achieve this goal, these students take on the immense responsibilities of an STO candidate. “I’d say that candidacy has helped me grow, not just as a leader, but also as a person,” said Candidate Talya Hammerman. “I have learned valuable skills, not to mention everyone is so uplifting and amazing. It’s truly an indescribable experience!” Continuing, this is an incredible opportunity for students to gain valuable leadership skills. Being a candidate has provided each and every student who has been a part of the process, an inside experience on what a State Thespian Officer takes on during the duration of festival and the many months leading up to festival. “I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time. I will use this knowledge for the rest of my life,” said Candidate Gentry Phillips. “Candidacy is not only a good learning opportunity but a fun way to connect with others.” STO candidacy has allowed future leaders an inside perspective on how to communicate effectively, develop independence, and the result of growth in one's confidence. From candidate David Oyeleye, “Candidacy has taught me how to be more outgoing in and outside of my troupe, as well as how to bring people together”. By attending the leadership and advocacy workshops, individuals are provided with knowledge as to what Texas Thespians aim to achieve: promoting a voice for leaders, making change, and advocating for the arts. Throughout these workshops, students are taught how to better take charge among their troupe, how to advocate for the arts at a high school level, and even how to get in touch with their state representatives to better elaborate the means of theatrical education. Thank you to every candidate who gives their time to make sure festival runs smoothly. Much love, Your 2020 Texas State Thespian Officers By: STO Caleb Creech, Royse City HS, Troupe 8003
At our first ever virtual super Saturday, we had an advocacy workshop. The workshop's purpose was to teach thespians skills to become an arts advocate for your troupe and self! What exactly is an advocate? It is someone who publicly recommends or supports a cause. In our case, we want to be the best Arts Advocate we can be. When it comes to being an advocate, there’s one small acronym to help you remember what steps you need to take. A- Advertise R- Reach Out T- Teach S- Social Media Now, you may be wondering where you can advocate. You can advocate practically anywhere, but here’s some tips for advocating in your school. Using ARTS, we can effectively advocate in our school by creating posters and flyers, reaching out by inviting peers and staff to see shows, teaching yourself and others the importance of theatre, and using social media as a great resource not only for yourself but for your entire troupe! Let’s move on to how you can advocate in your local community. Ask local businesses if you can put up flyers or posters for upcoming events. Attempt to get a newspaper article written about your troupe. This is an excellent way to advocate. Make sure to get in contact with your local representatives to discuss making March theatre in our schools month in your town. How about advocating at a state level? Set up meetings with your state representative to discuss declaring March as Theatre in Our Schools Month. Work with area wide administrators and lawmakers to increase support for the arts. We also recommend that you prepare an elevator speech. This speech is used to set up a future meeting to discuss what you are advocating for. It is typically around 1-3 minutes long, concise, professional and to the point. Since we are living in a time when it’s not always best to be together, how do we make change when separated? We can use email to set up meetings with elected officials to advocate for the arts! Here’s how to write a email: We strongly recommend that when you are typing a structured email, you include the following: Your Name and Affiliation lets them know who you are and what your qualifications are. The next thing you should do is mention some accomplishments. Also when persuading the reader with your email, it’s crucial to provide statistics that will help bolster your cause. The most important thing that should go into the email should be a meeting request. This way, the entire email was worth the person's time and a line of communication for change has been started. You’ve got a meeting, now what? Make sure to consider the who, what, where, when, why and how. Who are you meeting with? Do a little background research on the person you’re meeting with. Information you research can be very helpful to you in the future. Try to find some common ground for an easy conversation.What do you want them to get from this meeting? Find the content and substance for this meeting. Where is your meeting? This one is simple. Agree on a meeting place. When will your meeting be? Make it a priority to be punctual. Why are you doing this? Find why this is important to you and apply it to the meeting. How will you do? If you come to the meeting on time with a good first impression and speak clearly with helpful statistics, it will go a long way to achieving your goal. Speaking of goals, below are goals of Texas Thespians advocacy team.
As an arts advocate, it is important to know what your goals are, so maybe take some time to write them out so you can know what you want to work towards. Hope you enjoyed this advocacy recap. If any you want to see the live presentation of this workshop, stop by the STO Corner during the 2:00pm Workshop Session at the 11/21 Super Saturday. We can't wait to see you all there! You’re never done advocating, Your 2020 State Thespian Officers By: STO Brenna Kenney, Rouse High School, Troupe 7679
