Approved Material

The Thespy program requires the use of approved source material for all performance categories. EdTA works closely with authors, publishers, and rights holders to provide a growing list of more than 13,000 pre-approved titles that students may use at no additional cost. While we’re focused on curating a diverse and inclusive list, final approval for each title rests with its publisher or rights holder, not solely EdTA. That means a specific title you’re hoping to use may not yet be available.

The list below is the official Approved Materials List for the current school year. New titles will be added throughout the fall as approvals are received. The list will be updated through December 15, 2026, at which point it will be locked for the remainder of the 2026-2027 school year.

Your selected title must appear on the Approved Materials List at the time of your qualifying event to guarantee eligibility.
