We are proud to announce an exclusive arrangement with the Educational Theatre Association to provide online ticketing to their members. A portion of each ticket service fee (paid for by the ticket purchaser) goes directly to EdTA to be used for Thespian scholarships.

We're thrilled to be a part of the EdTA community, and since talking with theatre educators from across the country at the 2007 EdTA Annual Conference in New York, we are committed to bringing accessible and affordable online ticketing capabilities to schools and other non-profit institutions.

What is the Educational Theatre Association?

The Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) is a professional organization supporting the field of theatre education. Members include theatre arts educators, students, professionals, and enthusiasts. EdTA's student division is the International Thespian Society (ITS), an honorary organization for middle school and high school theatre students. EdTA publishes Dramatics magazine, a monthly magazine for high school theatre students, and Teaching Theatre journal, a quarterly magazine for theatre education professionals.

What is the International Thespian Society?

The International Thespian Society (ITS) is the student honorary division of EdTA recognizing excellence in middle and high school theatre. Membership into ITS is earned by participating in an affiliated school's theatre program and accumulating points towards membership. Since 1929, approximately 2 million students have been inducted into ITS.
