About TxETA

The TxETA, Inc. strives to use all the resources available to strengthen our teachers, and build on existing programs around the state to continue to improve the quality of theatre education in the state of Texas. Our members share information and experiences through the Texas Teacher Network with young teachers to help them become established in their programs more quickly and to aid when issues hamper productivity. There is also a very extensive guide that continues to grow with forms, lesson plan ideas and activities for teaching theatre. The assistance does not stop in May when school stops, but continues to work with teachers through the summer in Summer Workshops offering experienced help, hands-on workshops, and idea sharing sessions for teachers new to their schools or our current members teaching for many years. The annual convention is always packed with information and one-on-one idea exchanges. To borrow a phrase from a popular commercial, "TxETA doesn't make the theatre teachers in Texas schools - we help make them better".


The TxETA, Inc. offers several opportunities for students as well. During the annual TheatreFest (annual convention) there are dozens of workshops for students to learn about acting, lighting, productions, and just meet professional entertainers from many forms of theatre. TxETA also makes available to the students a college audition opportunity where their auditions can be seen by over 125 college Theatre Directors and professional training studios at the same time. Again, TxETA doesn't make the actor, director, designer, or technician - we provide tools and opportunities to make them better.
