The Northeast Educational Theatre Association is made up of eight state Chapters of the national Educational Theatre Association. These Chapters are led by Chapter Directors who work with Chapter Boards to provide programming, networking, and opportunities for high school and middle school theatre students and their teachers.

Each Chapter (state) plans events for their own Chapter. See Participating States to check out the program scheduled in your own state.

Leaders from the eight states of the NorthEast Educational Theatre Association have come together to organize a region-wide festival to provide a rich and diverse festival that makes it possible to experience the many theatre resources of our region. This event is intended to provide unique educational opportunities that are otherwise unavailable to our students, such as Individual Events, Festival Showcase, Tech Challenge and more. The NorthEast Educational Theatre Festival moves from state to state each year and is open to any school that wishes to participate. Membership in the Educational Theatre Association is not required.
