A Message from the TTAO Chair
Welcome to the Texas Theatre Adjudicators and Officials (TTAO) website. Formerly the Texas Educational Theatre Association Adjudicator Organization (TETAAO), we are a group of theatre professionals dedicated to supporting educational theatre by training, developing and recruiting qualified adjudicators and contest managers to serve as officials for the University Interscholastic League (UIL) One Act Play contest as well as other theatrical competitions in the state of Texas.
In addition, we work in partnership with the UIL State Drama Director to review policies and procedures regarding the One Act Play contest and to recommend revisions as needed. As we continue to work on our transition to becoming a fully independent non-profit organization, we appreciate the support of the University Interscholastic League as well as the leadership of the Texas Educational Theatre Association.
The AO, as we are often called, has had a rich history celebrating our 25th birthday this year. It is exciting and humbling being the AO chair as we begin a new chapter of our story. We look forward to embracing the addition of contest managers to our ranks and to the exploration of additional certification opportunities to encourage a vibrant and diverse judging pool.
Educational theatre is alive and well in Texas and we are honored to support the amazing work of the students and directors in programs large and small across our state.
