Honor Troupes
Georgia Thespians has created the “Georgia Thespian Honor Troupe” program to recognize those troupes that do tremendous work in their school and community and achieve a high level of excellence, both on and off stage. There is no limit on the number of troupes who can apply each year. Click here for more information.
Conference Grants for students
Georgia Thespian Conference Grants are available for students who have financial difficulty and for whom free conference registration would be beneficial. The application must be submitted before the deadline. Students awarded grants will be notified via email. Recipients will be credited with the grant online when the troupe registers or shortly thereafter, depending on the time of registration. Click here for more information.
