Operations Manual



The Educational Theatre Association (EdTA), founded in 1929, is the professional association for theatre education. EdTA’s mission is to make theatre a part of lifelong learning. The association’s major areas of effort—educational development, teacher training, and advocacy—serve to accomplish this mission by helping to improve the learning environment in the theatre arts regardless of educational setting.

EdTA is the professional association for theatre education. The International Thespian Society, the student division, is the world’s largest honor society for theatre arts students. Together, the Educational Theatre Association and the International Thespian Society have been helping build strong school theatre programs for more than 75 years.

The International Thespian Society offers everything from varied performance venues to college audition opportunities to formal awards and scholarships. Since 1929, more than two million students, schools, and educators have benefited from ITS membership.
