2022 Leadership Day Information
Saturday August 6 at South Tama High School
NEW THIS YEAR
Welcome Thespians to Leadership Day. You should have received an email for our event app that we will be using for Leadership Day and the Iowa Thespian Festival in November. This app will provide a digital copy of the schedule so you do not have to carry around the bulky and heavy paper program.
Downloading the app for leadership will be beneficial as when you download it the first time on your phone, you'll get one click access to your next event.
Join us for the ninth annual Iowa Thespian Leadership Day, which will be held on Saturday, August 6. The event will be held IN PERSON again this year and will be $20 per student for Iowa Thespians to participate. The day begins with a keynote address from a leader in educational theatre. Students will then have an opportunity to participate in leadership workshops led by theatre professionals and the current Iowa State Thespian Officers. This is a great chance for your Thespian student leaders to meet and learn from other student leaders from around the state, and to develop new leadership strategies for the upcoming school year! Lunch and a T-Shirt is being provided as a part of the cost. We are suggesting those who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 to wear a mask out of courtesy for all participants.
