What Are The Thespys?

Broadway has the Tonys, Hollywood has the Oscars... now Thespians have the Thespys!

The International Thespian Excellence Awards (or Thespys® for short) recognize the highest level of achievement in school theatre performance, technical theatre, writing, and filmmaking. You can read more here and here!
