INTERNATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY (ITS)
Club Description: Since 1929, more than two million students have been honored for excellence in theatre arts by being invited to join the International Thespian Society. As a member of ITS, students join a group that includes not only accomplished actors but people who have distinguished themselves in business, science, law, medicine, and every other field of endeavor. Students earn the necessary points to be invited to join this honorary society by contributing their time and talents to the FJH theatre program through participation in theatre classes, school plays, and other extra-curricular activities like area speech festivals and field trips. Our ITS members provide the student leadership for all FJH Theatre Department functions.
