The New York State Theatre Education Association (NYSTEA) is made up of educators, artists, publishers and suppliers who preserve, enhance, and advocate drama/theatre in our schools and communities. Nichols School is a proud member, and brings students to local and statewide conferences where they can take workshops in all areas of theatre, watch and participate in performances, meet and audition for college representatives, and make new friends that share a passion for theatre.
NYSTEA believes. . .
- Theatre is a powerful tool for understanding the human condition.
- The future of THEATRE in our society is dependent upon theatre education.
- Students of THEATRE acquire personal resources and life skills through intellectual, aesthetic, physical and emotional development.
- DRAMA/THEATRE instruction is an essential part of a K-12 education for all students.
- Opportunities for DRAMA/THEATRE instruction and EDUCATIONAL THEATRE instruction are essential at the college and university level.
- A strong statewide organization is necessary to advocate DRAMA/THEATRE EDUCATION in New York State.
- THEATRE Educators benefit from networking and sharing resources.
- THEATRE flourishes in a society where it is supported in the schools.
