To create a more positive environment in Oregon Thespians, I will provide tools to ease common theatre anxieties through organized information, audition readiness, and facilitating peer tutelage. I plan to create a user-friendly website, host a workshop at State 2026, and establish a mentorship program in order to make Oregon Thespians a friendlier, more reliable place by the end of my STO term.

I plan to give more inclusivity in the theatre community by supporting small, local theatres, as well as the larger businesses and high schools. I want to create a monthly newsletter going over shows, fundraisers, and in general theatre events in various areas and regions happening that month, encouraging local troupes to attend.

I want to bring awareness to the lack of shows produced that feature minority voices at the high school level. My plan is to create a website/online database that serves as a catalog of high school level plays that tell all sorts of stories from all different communities/backgrounds. The goal is to make selecting a play outside of the typical canon of theater significantly easier. 

​

In order to execute this idea, I will read and review plays in order to create a varied and quality online library of titles, fully operational no later than May of my Senior year (2026).

My platform is having a chain that connects troupes with their local theatres where we can give kids meaningful life experiences, having a community where students can collaborate with actors, directors and technicians in a professional setting. I would work to get discounts for Thespians to see shows at their local theatres, as well as trying to provide workshops where students can interact and learn from people in the field. This would build tighter knit theatre communities as well as make professional theatre more accessible for students that might struggle connecting due to financial difficulties or lack of information. I would want these changes to be long lasting so these relationships could be maintained long after they are implemented.

I would create a Thespian “Advice column” where Thespians can ask for real-life theatrical advice from myself, their peers, and have resources for support from theater professionals. This “advice column” would be a way to highlight specific common or nuanced issues which Thespians may face, and a resource for a variety of people, whether it be technicians, actors, or a theater-passionate student in need. “Stagefright” would be a digital platform which would address the issue of loss of connection during current times of large-scale concern & uncertainty, as well as ongoing personal or interpersonal struggle many of us face on a daily basis.

My platform idea is create a way for people to effectively communicate and create less toxicity within the space. Theatre is an amazing space to be in but that doesn’t deny the fact that the space can create some toxic and negative emotions or relationships. I would like to offer a support line for anyone to ask how to deal with situations and implement a solution to a problem even if it is a step in the right direction. It still allows communication to understand what may help in toxic situations or spaces. This will allows students within different theatre spaces to have help when it comes to their theatre and get an outside perspective on the situation.
