Wantagh Teens Inducted into MacArthur High School’s Theatre Honor Society

Two Wantagh teens were recently inducted into the International Thespian Society Troupe 5958 during a Theatre Honor Society induction ceremony at MacArthur High School.

Nicole Cevetello and Dominique Nelson of Wantagh joined the society’s 18 continuing members, who are active in MacArthur’s theater program. MacArthur students Alex Philbin and Stephanie Saavedra of Levittown were also inducted.

In order to be considered for membership, a student must maintain an 85 percent cumulative grade point average, accompanied by a 95 percent grade point average in theater classes. The student must also participate in one or both of the school’s theater productions, the cabaret or “Mac’s Got Talent.”     

Adviser Paige Hardison welcomed the new members and explained that the society has a long tradition of excellence. “Congratulations on being inducted into this society,” she stated. “We wish you much success in your future.”     

The purpose of the International Thespian Society is to foster a commitment and excellence in theater, to make education and arts programs places for prosperous growth, and to honor students who excel in theater.
