The Texas Educational Theatre Association (TxETA) TheatreFest recently celebrated its 75th year of supporting and advancing theatre education for students and educators at all levels across the state of Texas.

This year also marks the third year of TxETA’s Featured Performers Program, an exciting initiative that brings together talented theatre students from across Texas to train, collaborate, and perform under the guidance of outstanding theatre educators and industry professionals.

For the third consecutive year, G.W. Carver Magnet High School was proudly represented in the Featured Performers Program. This year’s selected students included David Gipson, returning for his second appearance, along with Dakarai Smith and Johnny Kelly.

Adding to Carver’s representation, Carver’s own Mrs. Roshunda Jones-Koumba serves as one of the coordinators of the Featured Performers Program, helping provide young theatre artists from across Texas with meaningful opportunities for artistic growth, collaboration, and performance.

We are extremely proud of our students and faculty for continuing to represent G.W. Carver Magnet High School and the Panther Players at the state level!
