Established in 1929, Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) is a national nonprofit based locally in Mt. Auburn with the mission of shaping lives through theatre education. EdTA does this by supporting teachers through professional development and training, networking opportunities and curriculum resources; honoring middle school and high school student achievement in theatre, and advocating on behalf of theatre education and its benefits to building life skills. A gift from the Pfau Foundation will support JumpStart Theatre Pilot Project.
