Below are the links to the Rules and Procedures for the Thespys.
There will be preliminary virtual submissions via Flip prior to the High School Festival for the following categories: Solo Acting and Solo Musical Theatre Performance. Students who receive a Superior in the preliminary round will be adjudicated again in-person at festival to determine Closing Ceremony Showcase performances. Students with a Superior in the preliminary round will be allowed to compete at the International Thespian Festival regardless of results of the in-person performance. The remaining Thespys categories and all Junior Troupe categories will be held in-person at festival.
For the virtual submissions, the Flip join codes are below. Troupe Directors may upload student videos or students may upload their own videos.
