Please complete this Honor Troupe Application by 9 am on Thursday, December 15 2022. This Honor Application and presentation should span from December 2021-December 2022.

Explanation: New Jersey Thespians has created the “New Jersey Thespian Honor Troupe” program to recognize those troupes that do tremendous work in their school and community and achieve a high level of excellence, both on and off stage.

The process: The application process includes the presentation of a portfolio ("brag book") about the positive impact your troupe is making. Each troupe must provide one student to present this portfolio and explain its contents at the festival. This should be an organized scrapbook containing evidence of involvement through pictures, newspaper clippings, minutes of Thespian meetings, correspondence, etc. proof of accomplishment needs to be included in the book. The year runs from conference to conference.

The art form: Thespians may present their book in actual scrapbook (hard copy) form or they may present in a digital form. Digital can be any program (i.e. Google Slides, website, etc.). 

Awards: Honor Troupe Awards will be divided into three categories: bronze, silver, and gold. Any school that meets the criteria, completes the necessary paperwork,  may earn an Honor Troupe Award. Any number of troupes may be honored in each category. A certificate will be given to each school.

Please remember: You are not in competition with other Thespian Troupes! Our hope is that each troupe will be appropriately challenged by the criteria.
 
Special Awards: There will also be special awards given for Best Visual Presentation, Best Oral Presentation, and  Best Community Engagement.
