Thespian Troupe #6356

Tiger Drama is home to Troupe 6356 of the International Thespian Society, an honor society recognizing student achievement in theatre.

Through Troupe 6356, Lewis & Clark students join a larger theatre community across Washington and the country, with opportunities for recognition, leadership, festivals and continued growth in theatre.

How membership works

Students earn Thespian membership through sustained participation in theatre.

Tiger Drama uses Thespian points to recognize that work. One point generally represents about 10 hours of participation, and students become eligible for induction after earning 10 points.

Acting, technical theatre, stage management, design, costumes, crew and other production work can all earn points. Students continue earning points and honors after induction.

What students gain from membership

Becoming a Thespian formally recognizes a student’s work in theatre and connects them with opportunities beyond Lewis & Clark.

Inducted students can participate in Thespian events, pursue student leadership opportunities, compete or present work through Thespys, and explore scholarships, college auditions and other state and national programs.
