A thespian membership is a great motivator for students to become more active in their school's theatre program. The skills that are learned through theatre are creativity, self-confidence, leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. These skills will benefit students in their school days and beyond. A thespian membership is an honor and evidence of their continuing desire to work toward higher standards in theatre and the arts. The friendships made are rewarding and long lasting.
