RHS Raven Players, a.k.a. Troupe #7161, proudly participates in International Thespian Society. Thespians receive the highest recognition due those who have demonstrated commitment and excellence in their school’s theatre program—induction into the world’s largest theatre honor society. Inductees enjoy the sense of community and recognition inherent in being inducted into an honor society.  ITS membership and its system of progressive honors and recognition encourages them to practice their craft and to grow as a person. The 21st-century skills that they learn from a quality theatre arts education—creativity, self-confidence, leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, as well as specific theatre skills—will benefit them throughout school and beyond, no matter what field they choose to pursue.

Ms. Sussman, our troupe director, is a proud member of the NJ Thespians State Board, and students from RHS are chosen to sit on the State Student Board annually. RHS is proud to host the NJ Thespian Festival again in January 2023.
