- Entry is based upon Theatre experience. All acting and technical experience can be quantified and converted to points. The more points, the higher the Thespian rank and honors.

- Thespian points are only valid for shows worked on in high school: junior high or elementary shows are not applicable.
- Community theater/technical experience outside of Martin Theater may also be valid if done during high school. Be sure to ask if it is possible to gain some extra points.
