How do students qualify for membership?

Students qualify by earning points for their work in Theater Arts. ITS provides a point system guide for your use. The points listed are the suggested maximum for excellent work.

For high school students, designated as those in grades 9-12, on point is equal to ten hours of excellent work. In order to be eligible for membership in his or her high school troupe, a student must obtain a minimum of ten points. In addition, these points must be earned in a minimum of two productions and must be from two different production areas (i.e., acting and stage management)
