The National USITT Organization was founded in 1960 as an organization to promote dialogue, research, and learning among practitioners of theatre design and technology.
Today it has grown to include members at all levels of their careers and has embraced the new technologies being used in entertainment. USITT is now the leader in life-long learning opportunities for the entertainment design and technology industry.
Mission
The United States Institute for Theatre Technology, Inc. (USITT) connects performing arts design and technology communities to ensure a vibrant dialog among practitioners, educators, and students.
Core Values
Inclusion
Acknowledging the inequitable structures established by the dominant culture, and the industry’s conscious or unconscious participation in these unjust systems, USITT commits to the ongoing struggle to create equitable spaces, to embrace diverse experiences, and to uplift and encourage multiple perspectives.
Excellence
Recognizing the need for continuous pursuit of the very best in our profession, our industry, and our Institute, USITT cultivates innovation in education, research, and safety.
Responsibility
Embracing a long-standing imperative to serve, USITT provides value through year-round activities, elevates the work of individuals and organizations, and heightens accountability to our members and the industry.
Carmel High School USITT
The Carmel High School USITT Student Chapter is sponsored by Mr. Andrew Okerson and Mr. Bernie Szuhaj. The club exists for the following reasons:

- To create a space to gain training and knowledge directly applicable to the theatre trades.
- To provide technical theatrical assistance to Carmel Clay Schools, and the Carmel Community at large
- To fund-raise to help members attend the annual USITT National Conference.
