Cleveland HS - Troupe 8081
They/Them - Senior

My platform is creating a calendar where all high schools in Oregon can share their show dates and more information (fundraisers, community events, etc.) by Fall 2024. I'd be getting schools to host a community event every 3 months, and partaking in show exchanges - where one school goes to see your play, then you go and see theirs and post about their show on your school's theater page. We'd be having schools create monthly newsletters for those who are interested and engaged within their community, having posters be hung up for their school fall play in local businesses. The idea is that schools would not partake in every single concept, but more so pick a few and grow their communities.

Churchill HS - Troupe 5365
He/They - Senior

My platform is having "Thespian Night Out" where we go to see local productions in both high school and community theaters, supporting live theatre in our surrounding area.

Owen McMorran

South Eugene HS - Troupe 750
He/Him - Senior

I would like to create some sort of regional database for different troupes which would showcase and catalogue props and costumes in a region. One that different people in the region could access if they need items for their show.

Jose Salas-Farias

Tigard HS - Troupe 2833
He/They - Senior

For my STO platform, I plan on bringing more diversity to the stage. How I plan accomplish my goal is by contacting marginalized theater companies around Oregon, discussing with them about the struggles/challenges they face as a group, and over the course of my campaign, I will hold workshops for them to have the opportunity to talk and interact with students and teach them more about what their community. I will also showcase one or two productions made/done by one of those theater companies and expand the world of theatre.

Paige Mercer

ACMA - Troupe 8199
She/Her - Junior

My platform would be focused on the future of Oregon Thespians where we can get future Thespians more excited about theatre by advocating for more workshops and easy to access information at State and on our website about how to plan out your future in the Theatre world to inform and inspire our new upcoming artists.

Village Home - Troupe 8095
He/They - Senior

I want to develop our statewide Thespian discord server for Thespians to be able to communicate more frequently and more efficiently in order to foster a deeper bond and sense of community. This will be achieved when our discord server is moderated by the STOs, and selected Thespian and adult moderators, has at least half of the Thespians from each troupe in the state.
