We hope all of you enjoyed this month of theatre in our schools! As with any "month" where we recognize and celebrate the people, cultures, ethnicities, and wonderful diversity of this world, let us continue to celebrate and honor the achievements of theatre throughout the year!

We've said it before, and we'll say it again, "The arts changes lives." #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

In our theatre programs and on our stage, we already know this is true. Let's remind our communities and administrators too! #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

Happy World Theatre Day, thespians!! #worldtheatreday #theatre #thespians

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

Oh what a wonderful world it would be...let us all apply theatre techniques in all of our classrooms! #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

Is this best way for high school directors to teach artistic endeavours, or to take artistic risks? Not everything will be popular enough to fill every seat. Or is it riskier to beholden to a school board? #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

Many of us had to make the heartbreaking decision to cancel even a single show. And yet, we also discovered innovative ways to help our students create and perform theatre. That' because we know what it means for our students and our communities. #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

"Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." - Dead Poets Society. Happy Theatre In Our Schools Month! #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

When we give our students a safe space where all are welcome, we also give them a reason to be in school. #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

Don't we want our students to be in the room where it happens? #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

Let's find the next Bill Nye! Hooray for our elementary teachers who bring theatre into their classrooms! #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

Let's be honest. High school theatres typically have more females that males. So what if we exposed them to more shows/playwrights/music teams in which they saw themselves? We can! #TheatreInOurSchoolsMonth #TIOS24

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

It IS the focus of our work in theatre and we need to let EVERYONE know it! Spread the word! #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

Happy St. Patrick's Day and continuing our celebration of Theatre in Our Schools Month! Let us also celebrate all of our amazing teachers! #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24

[Illinois Thespians @ILThespians]

When we ask students "Beware the Ides of March!" those in the arts are in the know! #TheatreInOurSchools #TIOS24
