The WV State Thespian Festival is starting a new event to give additional opportunities for individual performers this year. This event is a first step in our effort to bring our state festival into alignment with the The International Thespian Society’s Individual Events Showcase (NIES) at the Annual International Thespian Festival which is held in June.
On a trial basis this year, three performance categories (monologue, solo musical theatre, and duet musical theatre) will be available for students to perform at the State Thespian Festival. Once again, this is only a trial run of this event and is for exhibition only, with no trophies given. However, written critiques will be given to the performers.
