I just don’t know how to express my love for the Educational Theatre Association. We are so strong, in so many ways, and we are so giving and helpful to each other. I’m grateful that we are in an organization that has these values and values us the way they do. At the very core of the Educational Theatre Association, it is about supporting one another.
