Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild

The organization was formed to provide theatre education and training programs to middle school and high school students and teachers. The organization conducts a middle school and high school drama festival and competition, which originally restricted participation to participating member schools only. The competition is currently open to all public, private, and parochial middle and high schools in the commonwealth. Through participation in the festival, students interested in acting, directing, and technical theatre gain valuable performance and production experience. The organization recognizes the talents of college bound high school seniors and rewards their excellence in the areas of performance and scenic design.
