Click here to see what you missed by not joining us for 2010 Troupe Development Day!

The 2010-11 Honor Troupe Information is available. Every troupe is encouraged to enter their troupe for recognition. The application for this school year will be due at the 2011 Troupe Development Day on October 1. If your troupe will not be in attendance at Troupe Development Day, you may mail-in your application.

Many of you have asked for a digital version of the Ohio EdTA Membership Handbook.  The handbook nas recently been revised and can be downloaded as a pdf file.  It contains pertinent information particularly for those troupes which have been invited to bring their show to State Conference.  Please read over it and as always, e-mail any Board member with questions.  We're here to help you,

Over the past few years, the Ohio Educational Theatre Association's organizational needs had begun to outgrow their website. This year there has been a complete redesign of their website and the board has tons of new and exciting ideas for this school year. With new ideas comes improvement, starting with a new website.

proVanceTek has worked with the Ohio Educational Theatre Association to completely overhaul the visual design of the website and its functionality. We're striving to appeal to the Theatre students, teachers, and parents of Ohio schools. We've created a design that incorporates an easy-on-the-eyes color scheme and a content management system that allows Ohio EdTA board members easily edit the site's content. We're striving to move from a Web 2.0 mindset this year to working towards the concept of Web 3.0 for next year - we have lots of ideas.

The new release of the website utilizes the Drupal Content Management System which is more widely used for corporate websites that manage lots of data and websites that need to incorporate lots of web applications. The former format of the website was limiting when it comes to some of the cool features we're planning on adding to our site. This year we hope to implement online registration for event, multimedia, and much more!

We hope you like our new design and the features we'll be adding. Stay tuned for more exciting improvements!
