Programs

  • Program 1 [2020]

    The JumpStart Theatre program was created by EdTA, in collaboration with New York City-based companies iTheatrics and Music Theatre International (MTI). JumpStart Theatre is a scalable program designed to build sustainable musical theatre programs in schools where there previously were none. The pilot program launched in Cincinnati in 2015, and in 2018 the program expanded nationally to four additional locations. Through identified local partner theatres, schools and teachers receive stipends and grants to faciliate both the production of new musical theatre programs as well as a two year training and certification program that will equip local educators to continue the program after the three year funding cycle is completed.

  • Program 3 [2020]

    The Foundation granted funds to schools and students throughout the country that were affected by the COVID pandemic and due to lack of funds were unable to continue their Thespian programs at their school, or unable to join a troupe and continue their thespian education. Funds distributed to schools and students allowed them to continue their thespian programs during the pandemic where funding shortfalls and budget cuts would oterwise cancel the programs progress.
