The mission statement for the Texas Thespians Educator Conference is "Teachers teaching teachers how to teach."

As Educator Conference Director, I am committed to ensuring that we have workshops that rotate from year to year, to keep the conference fresh and intimate. It's imperative that we offer you an opportunity to network with other educators, to share ideas, to attend master classes, and to celebrate the excellent work that we are doing as theater educators. ​
​~ Darla Jones
The most common questions about the Educator Conference are:
Do I have to have a Troupe? NO! But you must be a theater educator or administrator - from Kindergarten to University!
​Are there any membership fees? Never.
Are the workshops Thespian-centric? NO!

Today I investigated how to get butts in seats, choreography, creating leaders in my organization, how to TEACH choreography (a whole different animal) and stage make up. I also got to meet new colleagues and talk to some fantastic vendors. Thank you to Darla Jones and everyone else who worked to put this conference together. I'm having a blast and I am excited to take this back to my students! Seriously, guys and gals. #TTEC2020 was amazing! Already using things I learned - and I've been teaching theatre for 19 years. This old dog can still learn new tricks. 🎭❤

I had an amazing time at the Texas Thespian Educator Conference in Houston.  A great group of people volunteer their time so that theatre educators can recharge, refresh, and bring new skills and insight to the classroom. It’s all about the kids, ya know. So thankful, blessed, and honored to be an award recipient. I love you all!
