Thespian Points
Students earn points by doing productions. By tracking these points they earn ranks and accolades as appropriate. Leigh is proud to boast of several International Level Honor Thespians. The Thespian Point System Sheet can be found here.

In these three days, you will compete, take workshops, audition, reconnect with old friends and make many new friends. Students interested must apply and be invited to attend.

California State Thespian Officers
Being a State Thespian Officer (STO) is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, strive for change within the Thespian community, and hone your leadership skills in a productive environment! Throughout the year, STOs will MC for Thespian events, represent students in decision-making, and work hard to make sure all voices are heard. Each STO has a specialty job as well, such as Communications, Festival, Social Media, and more! STO applications are open to ALL California Thespians who are able to attend the state festival. If you are interested in learning more, please attend one of the four "So You Want To Be An STO" meetings. This is a required step in the application process. If you attend a meeting at the Northern CA Leadership & Tech festival at SCU, you do not need to attend another one!
