Lake Orion High School Thespian Troupe 2898 belongs to the International Thespian Society. Every year we induct new members based on their work in the theatre community at Lake Orion High School. As members of this international organization, we strive to exemplify and support the arts in our community.

For more information on the International Thespian Society visit here and for information on its affiliate in our state of Michigan, visit here.

We produce two main-stage productions every year: a fall play and a spring musical. We also produce several smaller shows throughout the year including the dinner theatre show in January, the student-written one-act in spring, and the student-directed and student-produced summer show. 



The thespian troupe meets every-other Monday after school in the auditorium or in room ​D-352 starting at 3:00 p.m. 

DIRECTOR

Jonathan Kind

Mr. Kind has been the theatre director at LOHS since the fall of 2017. He graduated from Woodhaven High School in 2007, obtained his teaching degree from Eastern Michigan University in 2013, and received his master's degree in directing from Roosevelt University in 2019. Mr. Kind teaches a variety of classes at LOHS including Intro to Theatre, Acting 1 and 2, Technical Theatre, Speech, SAT Prep, Myths and Folklore, and Sci-Fi Literature.

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

Drew Fry

Mr. Fry graduated from Lake Orion High School in 2004. One of the founding members of Thespian Troupe 2898, he later returned to support the program in his role as Theatre Coordinator at LOHS. As a faculty advisor to the LO Theatre Boosters, he works to find creative funding sources to support the performing arts across Lake Orion. When not backstage educating students on the finer points of technical theatre, he can be found deep in the woods... waiting.
