The Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) is a national, nonprofit organization with approximately 90,000 student and professional members. EdTA’s mission is shaping lives through theatre education by: honoring student achievement in theatre and enriching their theatre education experience; supporting teachers by providing professional development, networking opportunities, resources, and recognition; and influencing public opinion that theatre education is essential and builds life skills. 

EdTA operates the International Thespian Society (ITS), an honorary organization that has inducted more than two million theatre students since its founding in 1929. Through its involvement in the International Thespian Society, Centerville High School Theatre has been recognized by the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) and by the Ohio Chapter of EdTA (OhEdTA) for its work at both the international festival and state conference.

New for 2018-2019:
Miami Valley High School Theatre Awards

The high school division of the DayTony Awards moves forward in a new direction as the Miami Valley High School Theatre Awards.  The purpose of the program remains unchanged: to celebrate excellence in local high school theatre. Among the changes ahead, MVHSTA will align with a national music theatre awards program, The Jimmy Awards.

The High School DayTony Awards are presented to recognize outstanding performance, whether on stage or behind the scenes, at Dayton area high school theatres.

Congratulations to the students and adults at Centerville High School who have received DayTony Awards.
