The Musical
Theater Educators' Alliance is a forum for discussion of all
matters relating to the recruitment, training and placement of

conversations among the diverse teaching population who are involved in
the practical training of music theater students
- to promote high standards
- to share solutions
- to broaden visibility
- to strengthen credibility
within the larger academic community and the profession
- to exchange curricular,
production and professional ideas and information
