DPAC members have the opportunity to join the International Thespian Society (ITS), a global honors organization for performing arts. ITS is recognized around the world by colleges and universities, and it offers opportunities to attend seminars, participate in festivals, earn scholarships, and network within the theater community.  The Dallastown troupe, #7973 inducts new members in the fall, and all are welcome to attend the ceremony.

You can also contact Karli Richmond at richmondkarlie@dallastownsd.net to submit points or questions.
