Please consider sending your troupe to the State Thespian Festival in January.
Also, if you are a troupe with financial difficulties, apply for the Send-a-Troupe to Festival Grant!
All information about this grant and festival in general can be found at the Alabama Thespian Website:
Future Troupe Directors!!
I added this page to my site to provide access to the documents that I use each year with my troupe. I know how busy the year can be- especially the beginning. Hopefully this will help you navigate the "start a troupe" and induction process. Feel free to take it, change it, throw it away and start over, WHATEVER YOU WANT! I hope this helps.
Step by Step Start-Up:
-
Create an explanatory letter of what the Thespian Society is to inform potential members and their parents.
-
Make copies of that letter along with the point system and point record sheets.
-
Announce to students that the membership drive is open. Potential members should take an information packet containing the informational letter, point system, and point recording sheet.
-
Collect point record sheets as they are turned in and verify that the information provided is accurate.
-
Generate a list of eligible inductees. Create an invitation for each student on that list and deliver that to the students.
-
Collect fees and membership information as they return.
-
Print off the membership document, complete that, and fax it to the included number.
-
Mail in your payment.
-
Set your induction ceremony date. You will receive your membership cards and official troupe documents in 1-2 weeks.
-
You are a troupe!!!!!
