THE PROGRAM

 Grand Oaks Theatre is a 6-A High School Theatre Arts program that works hard to bring exciting, entertaining educational productions to our community & offer a variety of Theatre & Technical Classes!
We are Thespian Troupe #8779, part of the International Thespian Society and Texas Thespians. 
Our students have the opportunity to compete year round in speech tournaments, at the Texas Thespian State Festival, in U.I.L. Theatrical Design, and the Spring U.I.L. One-Act Play State Competition.
Each year we produce 8 to 12 productions, including Main Stage shows, Black Box shows, Improv shows, student-directed one-act plays, and Showcase performances. There are many opportunities to get involved! 
Our monthly Theatre Club Meetings keep everyone informed and socialize. You do not have to be in a Theatre class to audition ​or to participate in the after-school Theatre Club or attend meetings.
​Come to any Meeting  or visit the "Calendar" page to learn more about what we have going on.
​Please email our directors if you have any questions. 

HOW TO BECOME A THESPIAN

All students are welcome in Grand Oaks Theatre, but dedicated members may be interested in becoming official thespians. A thespian is a member of the International Thespian Society (ITS). Every theatre event that a student participates in earns them Thespian Points. Earning 10 Thespian Points means that a student can be officially inducted into the ITS for life! Points can be earned through acting and/or technical crew participation. After the initial 10 points have been earned, students can accrue more points to earn more honors from the ITS. Students who earn 40 points will letter in Theatre. Higher levels of honor include receiving graduation honor cords and medals. You can see how many points you currently have at the bottom of this page. Points are updated after each show. Points awarded are based on the judgement and discretion of the directors and may vary between shows.
