Michael Peitz Leadership Award

MICHAEL PEITZ LEADERSHIP AWARD

The Michael Peitz Leadership Award will be presented to one individual each year, nominated by their troupe director, who demonstrates leadership in and beyond their Thespian Troupe, and exemplifies the characteristics of a Thespian. The nominee must be a junior or senior student inducted as a Thespian by the time of the Iowa Thespian Festival. The nominee may not be a member of or running for the Iowa Thespian Chapter Board, or an International Thespian Officer.

The application form can be found on the Iowa Thespians website.

Our mission is to honor student achievement in theatre and enrich the educational experience, to support educators by providing professional development, networking opportunities, resources, and recognition, and to influence public opinion and policymakers that theatre education is essential and builds life skills.

We are passionate about theatre education and believe all students should have access to theatre curriculum which provides critical life skills for educational and career success in the 21st century.
