Blogging about who knows what

October 1, 2013
Hey guys!!! 
   Well it is my first post of the year so I am still trying to get back in to the swing of things. Sooooo.... I dont really quite know what I came on here to say but I will talk anyway. State is coming up! Forms are due on Wednesday!!! This is so exciting :) I am so pumped but so sad about my last thes con. I have been going to THespian Festival since they started doing it for Middle Schoolers. Making this my 6th Thes Con! (Not including Nationals which I have attended 3 times) Therefore, you can say that I really enjoy my time at these shin-digs. I am nervous for State this year as I am a State Thespian Officer. This means that I will be spending time doing jobs for the Convention rather than specifically for our troupe, which as a Thespian Officer I would be doing. This is going to add a whole new twist into convention. But, I am very excited to take on this challenge and see where convention takes me. I also will be auditioning for colleges which is about as scary as it can get. As I sit here writing this blog I am thinking of my project due tomorrow and of the "perfect" monologue that I feel like I am completely in search for and always let down by. But, when December rolls around I will be performing whichever pieces I choose for way too many colleges than I want to think about. asdjflasjdfoiewulfjksdl. But that's life I guess. So back to the point.... Convention! I hope everyone is getting very excited and can't wait to be monitoring the elevators and weaving my way through life on December 5th-7th. 

P.S. Induction invites will be going out so soon! If you are a new thespian you most likely have enough points and the list will be posted tomorrow :) Please try to attend inductions if you are a new inductee its a lot of fun and our sincerest attempts to welcome you in to this honors society.

Hann here...

September 30, 2013
So today in our officer meeting, the thespian officers begged ME to blog.  :P  Here I am...


I guess closing Beauty and the Beast last night filled me with a desire to reach out to non-theatre majors at DSA and say- go for it!  Step into your fear!  Join thespians! Come to state.  Perform an IE. Or just come and participate in workshops.  The hard part about DSA is that you only get the chance to experience your declared major art form daily- so those of you who love performing, take the chance...

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival

August 15, 2013

Well we’re back! That 19 day excursion to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival was beyond marvelous. We got to be real actors for a couple of days, thrown into this crazy life that they have. It was truly eye opening to see how this process unfolded on such a large scale. This privilege we were given, was humbling and a once in a lifetime experience. I personally enjoyed the culture of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. There were no rules to what could happen. Anything was possible through th...

iT IS LaTE

June 11, 2013
It's 2:10 am. And your new thespian board is hard at work making this year run as smoothly as possible. There have been smores and strawberries and lots of cat loving (like the genuine petting of cats not anything weird.) By the way this is Alessandra. But Maia says eyooo. 
Anyway. It's 2:11 and I just want to sleep but I love you all so much that we are still up. I don't know why I am even here right now except to test my coherency.
adieu little ladies and lords i'll be back tomorrow with bett...

Why Should I go to Nationals Anyway?

January 28, 2013
Hi Thespians,

It's your Creative Writing Rep, Shawn Cremer, but anyone and everyone should read this! So, let's see... Are you a junior? An I.E. performer with two superiors? An eighth grade thespian? If you answered "no" to any of the above questions, then you don't really have to keep reading (unless you're waiting to hear on the results *hint, Ave. Q, hint*) So, you could go to National Thespian convention. But why? I mean, it's expensive and let's face it; Lincoln, Nebraska isn't everyone...

Avenue Q........ what up with that?

January 11, 2013
       Ok so here is the thing. Avenue Q is such a weird show. Amazing, but so incredibly weird. It is a show with actors onstage carrying around puppets. Huh? The first time I saw the show I spent countless minutes before questioning and hypothesizing how I was going to watch and enjoy the show. Will I watch the puppetts? the puppeteers? who is really the character? who will be acting? But somehow this wonderful show manages to do it flawlessly. The audience is able to bounce their eyes betw...

We ready for da rest of da year, yo

January 10, 2013
Hey thespians!
VP here. Last semester was crazy for Thespians, primarily because of state convention. Thank you for being wonderful and representing DSA the right way!

This past weekend, the officers had a day long retreat where we reviewed our goals from the beginning of the year and reminded ourselves of what kinds of leaders we want to be. What we concluded more than anything was that we wanted to have more thespian events in order to unite our troupe! This semester we will have a thespian o...

December 10, 2012

What’s up thespians it your tech rep – Kelsi! Let’s talk Thes Con:

So to start off let lets talk workshops! Can I say I loved the directing workshop, the presenter was amazing – he walked us through the process he goes through when he is first handed a script. I really LOVED this workshop and hope there are more like it next year. I also got the chance to talk resumes with another presenter and I thought her ideas about it really helped me to understand ways I can imp...

Thespian Convention: SSO Report

November 21, 2012
Hello Thespian members! 
     I hope you all have been having a wonderful Thanksgiving Break. November has been a crazy month and we, as students, have been in need of a time to rest and spend time with our families. 
     Today's blog is going to be centered on the Colorado State Student Officers (SSO's).
     Over the past two months, the SSO's have been intensely planning the State Thespian Convention, which is in just two weeks! (Crazy, right?!) Currently, we are securing donations for the S...
