Trinity Thespian InductioN

By Samantha DePriest

This past week on Tuesday April 25th Trinity Thespian Troupe 8184 inducted 28 new members at an event honoring their hard work and accomplishments. Induction week was full of excitement and memory making for these 28 students. Monday was spent learning their pledge and preparing for the commitment to being a Thespian. On Tuesday, they learned the choreography they performed at the beginning of this ceremony, practicing preparation. On Wednesday, the students practiced the tech side of theatre, remaining silent all day, emphasizing the relationship that is necessary and present in theatre between tech and performers. Thursday was for protecting a prop given to them, remembering the necessity of caring for what we are given, prop or role wise. Lastly on Friday, students were given an accent to use all day, reminding them that sometimes we have to work to grow our capabilities and that it is not always perfect the first time. Theatre is a process of growth and trying hard things, and sometimes takes us out of our comfort zone.

High School Theatre Director Lizzie Perez shared “As we honor all that is drama, it is important to remember where our TRUE honor lies. We strive to work towards excellence in our storytelling, because we believe as a Chris-centered troupe, that the story we have to tell points other back to Christ.”

At the conclusion of Induction ceremony, both new and current Thespians joined their families at Junction Lanes for an after party two celebrate their accomplishments. What a night full of fun for these students and their families!

Below are the inductees along with their accomplishments in Middle School (MS), High School (HS) Technical, and Set Design along with any awards they have won and electives they have taken. Trinity is blessed with such talent and ambition when it comes to the Arts. We can’t wait to see what God has in store for our Performing Arts department in the years to come!
