The culmination of the International Thespian Festival is its Closing Cerermony, which in 2022 was a presentation of the Thespy Awards. Students who competed and received the top scores in their respective categories were presented with Thespy Awards recognizing their outstanding achievement. Additionally, selected high-scoring performances were shared with ITF's 4000 attendees, and filmed packages with technical theatre students speaking about their respective design crafts allowed for a unique showcasing of tech talent.

​

In addition to directing the production and the filmed packages, I also wrote the script for the entire two-hour award show. Since adjudications occurred across the first two days of the festival, and performance callbacks were held on the third day, the script needed to come together in the final 72 hours of the week, along with coordinating rehearsals for the performnaces, setting up a media "press" room backstage, and coordinating the many moving pieces and parts of a professional-style awards show.
