The WV State Thespian Festival is committed to giving additional opportunities for young theatre artists beyond the One-Act Play Festival. The Individual Events or IE's is the primary way for high school students to perform at the state festival if their school is unable to bring a play.
These events are geared to bring our state festival into alignment with the The International Thespian Society’s National Individual Events Showcase (NIES) at the Annual International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska. They also allow WV students to go to the "next level" by giving quality adjudications for NIES qualificaiton. However, please note that WV Thespians IE's does differ from NIES slightly. Please see the chart below:
As part of WV IE's, three performance categories (monologue, solo musical theatre, and duet musical theatre) will be available for students to perform at the State Thespian Festival. Written critiques will be given to the performers and 1st and 2nd place winners will be selected.
