The International Thespians Festival

Each sponsorship is $840

The Theatre Department at Hoboken High School is seeking donations from individuals or local businesses for our trip to the International Thespians Festival in Lincoln Nebraska. ITF is a weeklong immersion in theatre arts designed specifically for high-achieving high school drama students and their teachers. Setting the standard for participatory educational theatre experiences, the International Thespians Festival broadens horizons, enriches learning, and celebrates the creativity of theatre. Students and teachers can select from hundreds of rigorous and engaging workshops taught by experts in their field. Topics include acting and performing, lighting, sets, sound, makeup, costume design and construction, directing, stage management, dance, and playwriting. Our students will also get to compete against the best theatre students in the world in monologues, scenes, and group musical theatre categories.

The Hoboken Board of Education funds the educational cost of the program. However, our Sponsor-A-Student program is raising funds to contribute to each students' travel costs.

At Hoboken High School, 76% of students are economically disadvantaged. Every child deserves access to a high quality arts education. There are sixteen opportunities to help provide an invaluable educational experience for our students by supporting us with a tax deductible sponsor donation of $840 per student or chaperone.

Your donation to the Hoboken High School Theatre Department’s Nationals Fundraiser will bring us one step closer to achieving our goal of bringing sixteen people to the International Thespians festival. The program per student for nationals costs $840. This includes 5 nights stay, 3 meals a day, and all activities/workshops/shows. The dates of this trip are June 24th-29th. We appreciate your support and look forward to building and continuing relationships with local businesses and community members in Hoboken.

Sponsor-A-Student and make a powerful difference in a child’s life with a tax-deductible donation. As a “thank you,” all sponsors receive a personal note from the student whose International Thespians Festival experience was made possible by your donation.
