Here's a simple, yet informative defininition I found on http://theatre-education.co.uk/what-is-theatre-in-education/:
'Theatre in Education started as a separate art form and educational activity in Coventry at the Belgrade Theatre in 1965. A group consisting of actors, teachers and social workers were brought together to create a community outreach team.'
I think this explains the past of T.I.E.
My own definition would be:
A piece of theatre to inform a certain age group about a topic they might be interested in or need to be educated in. It is usually a small group of people so the company can travel easily, also using minimal props and set. Some T.I.E companies also offer workshops to incorperate lessons or drama skills into the performance.
