@toowonderful yes. I think I am probably the source of where @BeccaW444 got the heads up about the Washington State Thespians event as I have reached out to her privately and did give her the link to the info on that in a private exchange. To participate in those auditions, you do not have to be a member of Thespians.

Not meaning to speak for BeccaW444 but I believe her question may be more about the Nebraska Thespian event which is coming up in July. For that I think you have to be a member of Thespians which I assume means you need to go to a school that is a member or find a way around it??? @Momcares do you know? Info about Nebraska event is here: https://app.getacceptd.com/thespianfestival. I do not have any personal experience with what goes on in Nebraska. My daughter was never a member of Thespians and didn’t go to a school that participated in Thespians and I didn’t even know there was such a thing until well after the Nebraska week was over the year it counted for her.

Full circle historical reflection. Back in 2011 (you know… when CC MT dinosaurs roamed the planet) I started a thread about “on the spot acceptances.” From that I got a number of PMs from people telling me their stories as well as some accounts in the thread itself. One of these PMs came from a former CC participant who mentioned something about an on the spot acceptance or two at a state thespian event in 2010 and also included enough other info for me to realize she was not only talking about the state that I lived in and a location 3 miles as the crow flies from my house, but an event that was about to happen again in less than a month with an application deadline two days away. And as luck would have it, she was the parent volunteer Grand Poobah overseeing that event who very kindly guided my daughter to the right place to register. We had never heard of Thespians until that random CC happenstance. The take away is that you never know who can help you in this forum. My daughter ended up with several early acceptances with next to zero effort (relatively speaking) and cost thanks in part to this very helpful CC contact.
