International Thespian Society

The International Thespian Society (ITS) is an honorary drama organization for high-school theatre students. Currently there are approximately 100,000 active members serving in over 3,900 schools working alongside the 4,600 professional members involved with the society across the United States, Canada, and abroad. A few Thespian alumni are famous names from the entertainment industry, including Tom Hanks, Val Kilmer, James Marsters, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Stephen Schwartz, but most alumni are in a wide variety of industries and excel using creative and analytical thinking, communication and collaboration skills they learned as Thespians.
