Point System

The Official Greenwood Christian Academy Thespian Point System

Below are the maximum point values for typical theatrical activities here at GCA.

Points are awarded for the main activity of the student in the production. For example, a student who has a major role in a play and is also on the properties crew will receive points for just the major role. Troupe directors may award two additional points for any task performed with exceptional merit. The maximum points that may be earned in any one production is 10 (i.e., major role + troupe director’s points).

The maximum number of points that can be earned for one production is eight points; this may only be altered at the discretion of a Director.
