Thespian Troupe 1697
Lakewood High School is the proud home of Thespian Troupe 1697, an affiliate of the International Thespian Society under the Educational Theatre Association.
To earn membership into Thespian Troupe 1697, students must log 35 hours of work on and back stage in the LHS Theatre Company as freshmen, or 30 hours as upperclassmen. 5 points can be transferred from a junior troupe or community work for membership into the troupe. Once a student earns 30 points (35 for freshmen), they successfully lettered in LHS Theatre.
Becoming a Thespian is an honor and carries with it the responsibility of leadership. Thespian members receive induction honors at the end of the year banquet, can run for office, attend the Colorado State Thespian Conference each year, and act as stewards of what it means to be a part of the LHS Theatre Company. In addition, Thespians in good standing upon graduation (minimum 2.5 GPA with active, ongoing membership in the troupe) earn an honor cord to wear at graduation.
Please refer to our Thespian Points Guide below to see what your participation is worth. If you have any questions, see one of the Company directors. Points are due in January and April of each school year to earn induction into the troupe.
Honor bars may also be achieved through continued dedication to the program.

In addition to Thespian points awarded for participating in LHSTC productions, it is also possible to gain points through participating in activities with the LHSTC, and being in leadership roles for the LHSTC.
