Colorado Thespians continues to offer recognition to standouts in our educational community of elementary, middle, and high school theatre programs, as well as honoring the theatrical service members of our community and collegiate level programs.
Any current or past educator or professional involved in support of the educational theatre community who hasn’t been honored in the past five years AND who does not currently serve on the Colorado Thespians board of directors.
Hall of Fame recipients are individuals who served 20+ years in a theatre classroom and have left or retired from the profession, but made a sizable impact on their community and the community at large while serving their role as a theatre educator.
Please join us at the CTEC as we celebrate theatre education in Colorado and work to build a strong future for our profession and our art. The nomination window for any given year closes May 1st.
