ITS Festival News and Notes #1 -college auditions

One of the most significant benefits our CNMI students get from attending the International Thespian Festival is the chance to audition for colleges. Unlike students who live in the mainland, our students are so far away that they do not have this opportunity except at the ITS Festival.
