Hello Iowa Thespians!
I hope you all took some time during Spring Break to relax and recharge as we head into April and the long road to the end of the year. To those of you with spring productions, I wish you many broken legs and hope that you are able to appropriately celebrate the hard work of your students. Thank you for putting in the long hours to give students opportunity. You are continuing to build a more empathetic world. Below are updates from EdTA / Iowa Thespians: Jr. Iowa Thespian Festival 2026 On Saturday, March 21 Iowa Thespians welcomed over 50 middle school students to Mt. Vernon for a day of workshops full of learning and growth! Students even got to see a performance from North Scott Jr. High School! Theatre education is thriving at all levels across Iowa.
