HOW DO I BECOME A VTO (STO or RTO)?

Eligibility:
Students who have attended the previous school year's conference and participated in either an interest meeting with the VTO Board or a leadership workshop with the visiting International Thespian Officer are eligible to apply. In order to apply, a student must meet the following criteria:
  • Be a rising junior or senior for the upcoming school year.
  • Attend a school with an active ITS Troupe.
  • Indicate support from their director for their involvement. (The Troupe Director must also agree to actively serve on the VA Thespian Adult Board.)
  • Commit to attending a minimum of 2 meetings a year as well as the VA Thespian Festival. If a student misses more than one meeting, he or she may lose his or her position on State Leadership. Sometimes virtual (online) meetings will suffice.
  • Have participated in leadership training as administered by the current STO Board (when applicable).
