LTHS inducts Thespians

Twenty students were recently recognized for their service to the theatre.

       The Lyons Township High School Reber Center and the Performing Art Center at South Campus are like second and third homes to theatre students who spend hours and hours on stage acting and behind stage directing, working sound and lights, and even ushering. Twenty students were recently inducted into LTHS Thespian Troupe #1368 and recognized for their service to the theatre. Four additional students were recently recognized as Honor Thespians for their service of more than 600 hours and three were recognized for service of an astounding 1,200 hours.

 

       Students are awarded points for their theatre work, as outlined by the International Thespian Society. After earning 20 points, or 200 hours of service with at least 40 hours in crew work, students may be inducted into LT's Thespian Troupe. When a student reaches 60 points, or 600 hours of service, a student is recognized as an Honor Thespian. When a student reaches 120 points, or 1,200 hours of service, a student is recognized as a National Honor Thespian.

       LTHS English teacher and Theatre director Ann Dudek says, “To be inducted into the Thespian Troupe at any level is quite a feat, but to achieve National Honor Thespian status is truly remarkable. To amass so many hours of service required constant involvement over four years, equating to a full-time job.”
