Being a State Thespian Officer (STO) is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, strive for change within the Thespian community, and hone your leadership skills in a productive environment. Throughout the year, STOs will MC for Thespian events, represent students in decision-making, and work hard to make sure all voices are heard. Each STO has a specialty job as well, such as Communications, Festival, Social Media, and more!

STO applications are open to ALL California Thespians who are able to attend the state festival! 

If you are interested in learning more, please attend one of the four So You Want To Be An STO meetings. This is a required step in the application process. If you attended a meeting at Northern or LA/Inland Leadership, you do not need to attend another one. 

These STO-led meetings will be through Zoom, on the evenings of:

  • November 13th at 5pm
  • December 3rd at 6pm 
  • January 5th at 7pm 
  • January 21st at 5pm

The meeting link is available by contacting the Coordinator listed below. 

Student Thespian Officers are elected to one-year terms. Max 2 candidates per troupe. No fee.
