Our DISHS theatre students have been hard at work bringing War of the Worlds to life here on Deer Isle, but they're not ready to stop there - they have their eyes on this year's International Thespian Festival and they can't get there without your help! 

Every summer, thousands of high school Thespians bring their love of all things theatre to the International Thespian Festival, a celebration of student achievement in the performing arts. Organized by the Educational Theatre Association and hosted by the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, the Festival is a one-of-a-kind, weeklong immersion experience in singing, dancing, acting, designing, directing, creating, writing, and memory-making. Festival features workshops presented by theatre professionals, individual and group performances, programs for technical theatre students, and opportunities to audition for college admission and scholarship.
