Educators,
If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to experience the AMAZING Virtual Texas Thespians State Festival platform, we would love for you to be a part of the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!
This fantastic opportunity was too good to pass up, so instead of more Zoom meetings for Educator Conference in January, we can provide you access to the content and resources that we have available until January 2021. And there are MANY resources and loads of content in an interactive environment that includes gamification points where you can win prizes - just like Thespian Bucks!!
This platform offers Professional Development workshops in our newest program, Texas Thespians Advocacy Network. In addition, we will have specific workshops just for teachers on December 5th. And, because the workshops are archived from all Super Saturday events, you can choose ANY workshop to watch at your leisure, even if you missed the first Saturday!
We will present certificates for all Professional Development hours you accumulate, based on the number of workshops you attend through the end of the Festival.
To register for Virtual Texas Thespians State Festival, simply click here. The cost is just $50 - for 3 months’ worth of content - workshops, performances, keynote speakers and more - and ALL with the ability to save in a backpack to watch when convenient, or to share with your students.
Please know that we always want to provide you with the BEST we have to offer - and in this instance, THIS IS IT!!
Hope you’re all doing well and thriving! If you have any questions, please reach out.
We will look forward to seeing you all again in January 2022 – when we can be up close and personal again! Meanwhile, I hope to see you at the Teachers' Lounge or at workshops soon!
Fondly,
Darla

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. |
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!
