Eight schools have been invited by the Educational Theatre Association to perform at the International Thespian Festival's main stage, which celebrates its 57th year this June in Bloomington, Indiana. The invited schools will present productions of such shows as A Chorus Line, 9 to 5, Puffs, My Fair Lady, and more.

The opportunity is an achievement for schools that participate in the festival, with just 11 total schools being invited to perform on the ITF main stage following a nationwide screening and adjudication process.
