What is the All-Ohio Show?
The annual All-Ohio Show is one of the most exciting opportunities that Ohio Thespians offers. The production serves to bring together the best high school theatre artists throughout the state for an experience they likely would not have in their school communities, working with a production team of professional theatre artists.
Every inducted Thespian is invited to audition/interview for the company. Once the company is selected, the All-Ohio production is created over four immersive rehearsal, tech weekends leading up to opening night. The All-Ohio Show is the featured MainStage show to open the Ohio Thespian Festival each year.
See the Audition and Interview Packet below for information about the audition/interview process for this year.
