This year, nineteen Hoboken High School students qualified to attend and compete at the festival. We have also been invited to perform a song at opening ceremonies. Only three schools in the world were chosen for this honor.

The International Thespians Festival is a weeklong immersion in theatre arts designed specifically for high-achieving high school theatre students and their teachers. As the premier educational theatre experience in the world, ITF broadens horizons, enriches learning, and celebrates creativity through rigorous, hands-on participation.

Students have the opportunity to take workshops taught by nationally recognized theatre professionals. In addition, our students will compete against top theatre students from around the world in adjudicated categories of monologues, scenes, set design, and musical theatre.
