Who does this contest serve?
-
Non-contest one-act schools (perhaps you are doing a large play/musical and cannot commit to the one-act contest. This gives your students an opportunity to still participate easily in interscholastic theatre, without consuming their schedule).
-
Contest one-act schools who have additional students who cannot commit to the one-act, but would like an interscholastic theatre experience.
-
Any student who wishes to perform an audition piece (in Solo Acting or Solo Musical) in front of higher education recruiters.
-
Any school who has driven students who are seeking additional enrichment.
-
Students interested in technical theatre, who want additional practice, feedback, and exposure for their work.
How does it work?
-
Any number of entries from a school may participate online-asynchronously or in-person, Friday, November 22, as part of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Theatre Festival at UW-Milwaukee.
-
Film and playwriting entries are only online.
-
Directors who wish to designate Solo Acting or Solo Musical entries as auditions may do so when registering. They must include a résumé for each student. Please see our information page for more details.
-
Students earning superior ratings at contest will qualify to the International Thespian Festival (ITF) at Indiana University Bloomington (enrollment in a school-based Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) -International Thespian Society troupe is required for the ITF). However, schools and students may participate in this contest without further participation in the EdTA or ITF.
-

-
A single person may cover multiple adjudicator commitments; contact office@wisdaa.org if you wish to cover multiple slots and we'll manually adjust your invoice.
-
Virtual: Thespy State videos/files due: Nov. 26 (allows students who couldn't make the in-person contest to pivot to virtual); directors will share a video file from a YouTube link and must make sure links are unlisted/publicly viewable to "anyone with the link" -- see this page for more guidance; Thespy Virtual State adjudication window: Nov. 27-30.
More information will be posted here pertaining to accessing adjudicator ballots, etc., as the registration and video link window closes.
