Indiana Thespian Conferences
Congratulations to Nina Mendoza who won a scholarship to Vincennes University over the weekend at Theatre State. Also congratulations to Nina and Emma Loomis who won excellent ribbons in their musical theatre solo categories. Great job!
For the past 12 years, The Griffith Drama Department has sent students to both Regional and State Conferences where students can watch shows, compete, and take part in workshops. Held both in fall and winter, Indiana Conferences provide students with a unique opportunity to learn and master their craft, while meeting students from around the state. The Griffith Theatre Company is a proud member of the Indiana State Thespians, Troupe #6558.

Regional Conference took place this past November at Munster High School. Eleven of our students attended to watch our fellow Northwest Indiana Troupes compete to advance to state. We also had one student shadow the State Thespian Officers, and our own STO Laura, introduced the shows for the day and presented closing awards.
State Conference this year took place in January at Franklin Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. We had our Turnabout dance on the same weekend so 14 students came down Friday evening with Miss Candiano and Mr. Graff, while 12 showed up Saturday morning with Miss Rivera. We had six students compete in individual and duet musical theatre categories, with Emma and Nina winning excellent ribbons for their performances. Nina also participated in college auditions, and won a scholarship to Vincennes University. Laura, our State Thespian Officer, did a great job with the other STOs in running a smooth conference! We had so much fun attending workshops, watching shows, and bonding with our fellow thespians.
