EdTA is a professional organization with approximately 100,000 members nationwide. EdTA's mission is shaping lives through theatre education through honoring student achievement in theatre and supporting teachers. EdTA operates the International Thespian Society, an honorary organization that has inducted more than 2.2 million theatre students into Thespian troupes since its founding in 1929. EdTA also produces the International Thespian Festival and publishes Dramatics, a monthly magazine for high school theatre students, and Teaching Theatre, a quarterly journal for theatre education professionals.
The 11-member EdTA board has eight directors elected from among the organization's membership, most of whom are professional theatre educators, and three appointed positions. Appointed Board Members diversify the makeup of the EdTA Board of Directors. It is vital to the Association, as a leader in the theatre education world, to have firm and lasting connections to the creative leaders, producers, and individual artists currently working in the field.
