Congratulations to the crew chairs for Swashbuckling Sisters!

What Are thespians?

The International Thespian society is a theatre honor society for middle and high school students in the United States. Ellington’s Thespian Troupe 5226 inducts members of OKP who have shown dedication and have contributed over 200 hours of work to the program. 

Being a thespian is a badge of honor for student achievement in all aspects of theatre. Thespians in Troupe 5226 are denoted in the show program via an asterisk (*) next to their name.

Duties of Thespianship

Being a thespian comes with many responsibilities.

  1.  Attending thespian meetings and events
  2. Community Service
  3. Setting up OKP parties
  4. Being an upstanding and involved member of the community.
Thespianship can be revoked if the Thespian fails to fulfill their duties; inductees must not only prove themselves before induction, but after as well.   

Oath of the Society

I promise to uphold the aims and ideals of the International Thespian Society. I am a student of theater and excellence is my ideal. I promise to perform my part as well as I can; to accept praise and criticism with grace; to cooperate with my fellow thespians and to work for the good of the Troupe; and to share my love of theater.

Thespian President

I am in charge of everything that has to do with the Thespian Honor Society. I plan all of the thespian run events, I handle the OKP apparel, I address and attend to thespian needs and concerns, and I assist the president with things that include thespians.
Morgan Veach

Mo Veach

Thespian Vice President

My job as the thespian vice president is to assist the president in planning events for OKP. These events include, thespian meetings, Halloween party, Christmas party, bonding activities and volunteer work! I do my best to assist the president and keep everything running smoothly! I also am a second voice for the Thespians during general meetings and I can take any concerns they may have to our advisors!
 
I joined OKP last year (my junior year) and it has really become a place that feels like home to me. From the scenic painting crew to performing onstage, every member, every crew, every show, has made me feel like I’m a part of a family! I love you all!
