Festival 2020 is Cancelled due to COvid-19
Dear New York Troupe Directors, Artists, Supporters and Friends,
In light of the current developments of COVID-19 within the State of New York and its impact on schools, travel, and gatherings, and the directives and guidance from local, state and federal officials, the NY Thespian Festival has been cancelled.
We wanted to share this update with you as soon as possible so you can begin notifying your students and/or cancel plans to travel to the city.
The NY State Chapter Board is committed to our mission of honoring and serving our members, artists, and students. We thank you so much for your commitment to our Festival and hope you will plan on joining us in 2021. We sincerely appreciate all your time and effort in the name of educational theater! Your workshops and organizations mean so very much to all of the student and teacher attendees as well as our State Board. Thank you, thank you.
This is a strange and unprecedented time. Please continue to find ways to turn to the arts for expression, comfort, and community. The NY State Chapter Board looks forward to creating opportunities to gather and celebrate theatre in the hopefully not too distant future.
If you are looking for resources for theater teaching/learning online, here are two that may be of use to you:

Sincerely,
