WHO

All public, private, and charter middle schools in Colorado and Utah are invited to attend. We encourage new schools to join us and share the excitement of middle school theatre. Schools do not need to have an official Thespian troupe to attend.

Currently, homeschooled students can attend if they work with a local school and attend as a part of their troupe. No individual attendance registration is available.
