Tallulah Falls – Tallulah Falls School recently became an officially recognized troupe of the International Thespian Society. The ITS membership is the first for TFS and provides an opportunity for drama and theater students to network with other students from around the state and country. The membership also provides TFS theater students with the opportunity to earn scholarships through the organization. The TFS chapter is sponsored by upper school drama instructor Georgann Lanich.
The International Thespian Society promotes excellence in theater education and has troupes across the country in both public and private schools. A student may be inducted into a local Thespian troupe after working the equivalent of 100 hours in school, community, and/or professional theater both on and behind the stage.
