College Station High School thespians qualify for International Thespian Festival, earn All-Star Troupe award
Dec. 6, 2023—Seven members from College Station High School Theatre Troupe 8209 qualified for the International Thespian Festival after competing in the Texas Thespians State Festival on Nov. 17. In addition, the troupe was among 37 troupes to be named an All-Star Troupe. This marks the third year in a row for the troupe to receive the award.
“The Texas Thespians State Festival has students from all over the state competing in individual events,” said Stacy Erskine, College Station High School theatre director. Each year our students make many connections with other theatre students and most importantly potential colleges they may attend in the future. Texas Thespians is a wonderful opportunity for theatre students to learn from one another by attending workshops, watching other schools' shows and just growing as an artist from the knowledge they obtained at the festival.”
The following students qualified for the International Thespian Festival, which will take place at Indiana University Bloomington in June 2024.
