PUBLICITY DESIGN

CHOICE OF PLAYS

The Board of Directors of Florida Thespians voted to remove the list of titles the students can choose from for their technical events. 


This was for a few reasons: It brings us closer in line with EdTA and their events so students can participate in the International Thespian Excellence Awards (THESPYs) at the National level. It offers students a chance to find titles and themes that appeal to them. Finally, it gives students a chance to be inclusive in their play selection, so we can reflect our diverse student body in Florida.
