There has been some confusion lately about the value of being a theatre kid.

So, let's be clear.

Theatre kids are not just performers.

They are collaborators. Communicators. Creative problem-solvers.

Research consistently shows that students who participate in theatre outperform their peers academically, develop stronger social-emotional skills, and are more likely to stay engaged in school.

This is not an opinion. It is evidence.

EdTA is proud to set the record straight.

Theatre kids are prepared for life.
