Arizona Thespians are a group of dedicated teachers, students, and professionals who are dedicated to promoting Theatre education in our schools and community.

Our History

The Arizona Thespian Society was incorporated in the mid 1970’s.  We are a Region I Chapter affiliated with the International Thespian Society and the Educational Theatre Association. Over the last three and a half decades, Arizona Thespians have provided services to over 50,000 adolescents and hundreds of educators. Our efforts have been recognized by the Governor’s office for the last 10 years by way of a State Proclamation which states that November is designated as "Theatre in our Schools Month” in honor of our annual state conference. This designation clearly signifies the importance of theatre education by our legislation.

It is Our Mission

§         To provide quality theatre and educational experiences by way of professional workshops and networking opportunities for both students and teachers.

§         To promote higher education through scholarships and college audition opportunities to all eligible high school students in Arizona.

§         To advocate for Arts Education and the validity and importance of “Theatre in our schools” in Arizona.
