The Emporia High School theater department is excited to attend the International Thespian Festival in Indianapolis Indiana this June! This life-changing week of theatre is a wonderful opportunity for our student leaders to learn, grow, connect with other theater students and colleges across the country, and bring back what they learned to EHS. We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation that will help make this trip possible. This donation will also help support our theater program productions and community events. I am extremely proud of our students and student officers representing EHS and can not wait to see what they learn and experience at this year’s festival in Indiana!- Ms. Amanda Ballard, EHS Theatre Director
