My platform is about building a statewide sharing network for props, costumes, and set pieces so every school no matter its size or resources can bring their stories to life! Through a simple request form schools can ask for what they need, and those requests will be shared with nearby programs ready to help. This creates real opportunities to create community between schools across Oregon. As a STO, I would help coordinate and make sure resources actually get where they need to go. This isn’t just about convenience, it's about connection and building a stronger, more supportive theater community.

Support Thespian Troupe Directors in judge recruitment and screening via student Thespian referrals, database, and outreach. Referrals will follow the judges requirements checklist to ensure qualifications are met. This added recruitment effort will help make the judge pool more robust and regionals run smoother and more effectively, while building trust with competitors when they know they are being judged by additional qualified and respected judges they helped recruit.

I intend to make Oregon Thespians a more inclusive space for disabled Thespians like myself. I will act as a representative, listening to the complaints and requests of Thespians, making it easier for our access needs to be heard and addressed on both a school and a broader Oregon Thespian Chapter level. I’ll set up a support and community group for disabled Thespians to connect with one another and work to include at least one workshop at State specifically for performing with physical limitations and/or mobility aids.

They/She - Senior

My platform is based on a website/mobile app that bridges the gap of distance between Oregon Thespian troupes. Within this app, each troupe will have the opportunity to create an account to represent their school, with login information and posting abilities held by their very own troupe officers. Each troupe would be able to share Thespian related advice such as fundraiser ideas and audition tips, advertise their productions and activities, and reach out to one another when in need of support or inspiration. I want Oregon Thespians to feel as connected with one another as possible, as that is the backbone of theatre itself. We are one big community, and my platform is designed to facilitate that to its fullest!

She/Her/Hers - Senior

My platform is to increase awareness, representation, and accessibility for smaller and underrepresented theater troupes in Oregon. 

l want to create a Google Form to send out to theater troupes in Oregon giving them the opportunity to submit their school name, production season, show titles, performance dates, and ticket prices (Thespian discounts vs. General Admission). 

Using this information, I want to update our centralized, public Google Calendar for the teachers, parents/guardians, and students around Oregon to join to serve as a statewide theater information base, regarding and holding information about upcoming high school theater shows.

Something that as an STO I want to bring awareness to is effective communication between those within a troupe and proper leadership skills when you're a troupe officer. As teenagers, we are constantly growing and rapidly learning everything in our environment and as we grow. We are given opportunities to be in leadership positions in which we are expected to know how to lead and be influences. With every new skill one learns, comes practice and the need for proper guidance. My platform is to provide a website that posts tips and tricks for more effective leadership strategies and provide a space for everyone to share experiences or struggles within their troupes which, in turn, I can help them reshape the way of looking at it. The website would be expected to be fully up and running by September.
