ITS Banquet Celebrates Season 50, Senior Members, and New Inductees

This update is written by Sophomore Tali Maurer. This year, Tali is a Sophomore Class Representative for ITS Troupe #5623.

On Sunday, April 28, 2024 we held our annual ITS banquet. All ITS members and their families were invited to join. We celebrate the past year’s accomplishments like Vaudeville, the spring musical, and young playwrights. This year, it kicked off with a meal (this year catered by Carriage Inn) and was followed by an award ceremony. The award ceremony recognizes both cast and crew members for outstanding performances on stage and behind the scenes. New ITS members are inducted as well. A new set of officers is selected for each class for the following year as well as a new president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and this year because of such close votes a clerk was added too! A big part of the ITS banquet is our senior’s final curtain calls. Each senior gets to say their final goodbye to GSTD. It’s bittersweet but very neat to hear each student’s experience with the department and their passion for it!
