What it says it does
Our conference is conducted for secondary theatre education students and their teachers. Our 2026 conference had 260 workshops offered with 68 workshop instructors; we had 44 schools registered with 160 adult registrants and 1086 students registered. Our conference is a weekend full of theatre education for anyone involved in secondary theatre. All our expenses fo toward producing the conference. Any profit from one conference is held over for the next conference so that we can bring bigger-name guest artists, more theatre professionals from out of state to teach workshops or perform for students, more productions to offer for the registrants to view and analyze, or cover costs of ever increasing space rental, etc.
