Louisville Will Be New Home for International Thespian Festival Beginning in 2027
Playbill: After five years at Indiana University in Bloomington, ITF has outgrown its current venue. Following a search guided by six criteria—mission alignment, safety, accessibility, walkability, affordability, and capacity for growth—Louisville emerged as the next home.

I found this article really interesting. I went to ITF a few years ago, and I really enjoyed it. It felt very similar to how the CMU School Of Drama Feels, a place where everyone’s passion is theatre. Coming from a massive high school, where my graduating class alone was over 700, ITF was the first time where I was surrounded by a large number of passionate artists. I absolutely loved learning from the endless workshops. I especially enjoyed some of the acting and dance workshops, which taught me skills I would not have learned otherwise. However, it was such an exhausting week. Our schedules were packed. By the end of the week, I was exhausted. The University of Indiana campus is massive, and events were spread all around. I can’t believe that they are moving to Louisville to get even more space. This is a good thing though, as it means that the festival will continue to grow!
