Mini Checklist:

Check the rules and rubrics for the events on https://flothez.com/ under “Senior Thespians”.
If you want to present a performance Thespy, you need to ensure you are legally permitted to present the content by checking if your play/musical is on the approved material list: https://schooltheatre.org/thespys/approved-material/.
Tech Thespys can choose any published play regardless of whether it is on the approved list or not.
If you have more questions about a Thespy category and cannot find the answer on the Florida Thespians website, please reach out to an officer, Christa or Marty.
*Props Construction & Musical Theatre Dance are not yet acknowledged at the State Festival, so those events may not advance beyond the District Level.

Please visit the most updated rules via the Florida Thespians site. Use the menu at the top of the site for “Rules and Rubrics”.

Slating Rules:

Thespians must begin their presentation with an introduction known as a slate. The slate is not part of the presentation time, but an introduction to the piece. The slate should include the following information:

The Thespian’s name (or names, for group categories)
Title of selection being performed or work being showcased (e.g., “Hamlet's soliloquy” from Hamlet for a Contrasting Monologue entry)
Name of the playwright(s) or for a musical selection the composer/lyricist
