The International Thespian Society, founded in 1929, is one that offers motivation and support in the theatre arts. Each school participating is assigned a troupe number, NDA is 7957. Within the troupe, there is a director and group of elected officers. The troupe itself is valued in a point system, one must earn so many points to become a member. Afterward, an honor star is rewarded to the member for any additional points. Every member can therefore run for office. The NDA Drama Guild became an ITS troupe in 2015, our charter proudly hangs in our lobby. Our troupe elections and celebration, better known as the Banquet, are held every May to celebrate another amazing season of this theatre troupe.
