META Thespian Festival


Michigan's largest annual theatre event is the Michigan Thespian Festival. Festival is held for two days on the first weekend following the Thanksgiving weekend of each year.  Over the course of the two days, students and teachers are able to see at least four shows, choose from over 50 workshops in various areas of performance and technical theatre, compete in a variety of Individual Events, audition for scholarships from colleges & universities and visit information booths and theatrical vendors.  At night students are able to mingle during social events such as dances and improvisation rooms. Overall, it is an extremely exciting weekend in which students from across the state can share together in their common love for the theatre arts.

What can I do?

Individual Events (IE)
These are the only opportunity for our students to compete and win awards for our department while gaining professional feedback on their works.

Workshops
There are 5 workshop sessions each year and you have a variety of workshops to choose from. None of them are mandatory, but with options from accents to fantasy makeup why would you miss them!  
​Watch
Every year 2 shows are invited to preform at festival! In 2017 we performed our fall play. Each year there is one musical and one fall play and they range every year to what show actually goes!
