-International Thespian Society-

What is ITS?

The International Thespian Society has been honoring excellence in the work of theatre students since 1929. As of 2003, Century has joined this network of over 4,900 high schools around the world understanding the importance of theatre education. Students here at Century are invited to join this honor society by participating in our theatre program and accumulating points based on the quality and quantity of their work in theatre. Beyond recognition at graduation, ITS brings the benefit of helping young artists prepare for the theatre industry ahead. Throughout our different events we develop career changing connections and skills.

Our Troupe #6598 Exec Board

-President's Address-

     Hello everyone! I am Angeli Barragan, the 2023-2024 President of Century's ITS Troupe 6598. Over the years I have grown my love for theater by taking on many ensemble, understudy, and supporting role characters. Some of my favorite CHS memories come from being a part of the Audience Ensemble in Chicago, playing Mrs. Gascoyne in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime and striking a pose as a Big Kid/Loud Dancer in Matilda. This year my goal is to bring back excitement for ITS in our troupe, so that we are truly able to utilize all its incredible opportunities. After a 5-year hiatus I am happy to announce that the Century ITS will be returning to compete in the 2024 ITS Maryland State Thespian Festival! Along with preparing a one act, attending workshops, and putting on fundraisers; I hope to plan more activities for our troupe to participate in, so all our Thespians can really get the most out of their ITS experience. I will embrace our motto "act well your part, there all the honor lies" by making sure our troupe stays happy, growing, and organized with all members getting well deserved recognition. Overall, I know success will be seen as our troupe continues thrive and expand in the years to come!

-President's Address-

    Hello everyone! My name is Jack Nelson, and I am thrilled to take on the role of ITS president for troupe 6598 during the 2024–2025 school year. Since my freshman year, I have been apart of all seven productions that Century has presented, and I am excited to continue this journey through my senior year of high school. My participation has progressed from being a member of the ensemble to understudying, and ultimately playing a lead role. Moving into the upcoming year I have high hopes for what our troupe could achieve, including organizing numerous events at our home school and returning to the 2025 Maryland Thespian Festival. All in all, I am incredibly grateful for the chance to serve the group that has supported me through the last few years. I look forward to seeing the many ways in which our troupe will grow next year!

Hi! My Names Vanshika Pallerla and I can't wait to serve as your ITS Historian! One of my favorite parts of the ITS festival was getting to perform in the Thespys and meeting other theatre- minded people from across the state. I can't wait to help others get these opportunities and document it all as we go!
