KANSAS THESPIAN HONOR TROUPE
Honor Book Purpose: Helping Thespian troupe assess and celebrate their theatre work.

The honor book is not a competition with other troupes, it is a chance for your troupe to celebrate what your troupe has done for the past year.
GUIDELINES:
-The honor book is for the past calendar year, not the current festival year (i.e. the 2023 festival book is from Jan 1, 2022-Dec 21, 2022).
-Projects can be used for 2 different categories if it meets the criteria for both, but the project cannot be used for more than 2 categories. The student leadership category is not counted towards the two categories.
-The portfolio represents the impact your troupe is having in your school and community.
-This year’s honor book must be submitted digitally by January 4th at midnight!; there is more information below.

-If you feel you have done a project that is not listed in the category you feel it fits in, please choose other. If you choose other, please explain why it fits in the category you choose.
-Please remember that your lowest troupe you get on any one of the categories is the highest honor your troupe can receive for that year.
Digital Portfolio
This year’s honor book MUST be in a digital format and has to be submitted January 4 (Midnight) to enter it, there will be no late submissions accepted.
Virtual presentation needs to be no longer than 5 minutes if it is a video. Make sure you have exported it to work on all computers.
There will be no interviews for these portfolios, which means your digital book must be in the correct order of the submission sheet and must show actual evidence for the category because your troupe will not get a chance to explain any of it.
