On behalf of the Texas Thespians Board of Directors,  we would like to thank everyone who has completed our questionnaire.  We are compiling your top concerns and plan to share those with
our state and national arts-in-education task force groups.
We want to create viable solutions that will  keep our post-COVID theatre classrooms at the forefront of
all decisions made, while we maintain educational equity for all learners and provide for  the safety of our staff and students
 
We ask that you continue to share this questionnaire with your theatre colleagues around the state.  Please continue to check our website and Facebook page often for advocacy resources.
 
We hear your concerns. The Texas Thespian Chapter is proud to support you and your work. Thank you for all that you do for our Texas Thespians Chapter and our students.
