THESPIANS​

Thespian Troupe 8918

Picture
Thespian Troupe 8918 requires earning 10 points for work within Troupe efforts for Induction with Lifetime Membership. 

Members must remain active by earning at least 10 additional points
each year, the equivalent of 100 hours of work within Troupe Activities.


​Points lead to Stars, and Stars lead to Honor, National, & International Thespian rankings.

Additional Scholar recognition is made with regard to a member’s overall GPA.


Most Thespian benefits last through grade twelve, such as a membership card, certificates and pins, ​subscription to an informative magazine, scholarship opportunities, digital resources and much more.

Graduated members become Thespian Alumni.

Thespian of the Month

Camp Yampa

Picture
Camp Yampa (Creative Art in Motion Project for Young Aspiring Musicians, Performers & Artists) is a WUSD summer camp for middle-schoolers allowing them to focus on experiencing the creative arts. 

​Designed by Thespian Troupe 8918 members during a summer 2020 internship, Camp Yampa is poised to be an integral connection in the vertical alignment ​of the creative arts programs from our primary schools to River City.

​Thespian Troupe 8918 members will help progress Camp Yampa's mission by supporting program needs. In addition to unpaid community service opportunities, CTE pathway students can apply to be Camp Yampa Counselors as a paid intern through West Sacramento's Home Run.
