Introducing: Thank you, 5!
The Thank You, 5! program is CETA’s premier mentorship initiative, designed to give new theatre educators their "cue" for a successful career. We pair the wisdom of veteran teachers with the energy of those new to the wings, creating a supportive ensemble that strengthens theatre education statewide. Whether you are looking for a mentor to help guide your first production or want to share your legacy with the next generation, this is your place to connect.
Veteran wisdom. Ready for the first act.
