YMMV - “Your Mileage May Vary” - not everyone sees the same thing.
URTA - University Resident Theatre Association. An association of university theatre programs that, among other benefits, have a special Equity contract that permits many of them (maybe all) to offer Equity points and cards to students.
I should note that some schools are not URTA members but have points-granting Equity contracts, like St. Edwards in Austin.
