Frequently Asked Questions

  • Any Greater Atlanta community theater can join as a full member. We anticipate having other membership options available for individuals and organizations that are not Greater Atlanta community theaters soon.

  • Currently, there are no membership fees to join.

  • Each Monday morning, we enter the show/audition announcements we’ve collected throughout the week on the website and create social media posts and a printable program ad. We then schedule the show social post for Tuesday afternoon and the audition post for Thursday afternoon.

    If we have posted your shows/auditions previously, it probably means that we didn’t see it until after Monday morning and it will be there the following week.

    If we haven’t posted your theater’s shows/auditions before, send us a DM, email or comment on the post with the missing information and we’ll take a look. Even better, consider joining; while joining isn’t required to be listed, it certainly means we will be paying attention to your social posts.

  • A community theater is an organization that produces public theatrical shows with adult actors on a primarily volunteer basis. This definition excludes theater companies that pay actors professional rates, tuition-based youth educational theater, high school theater and college theater programs.

  • Not necessarily. First, many community theaters pay stipends to actors and members of the production teams, but these amounts are not fair compensation for their time. For example, if theater company pays a $100 stipend paid to its actors for the many dozens of hours given is not paying fair compensation on an hourly basis. Second, some theaters may pay certain members of the production team fairly for their time, but still relies on actor’s volunteering their time. Finally, some community theaters are not nonprofits; so long as they aren’t paying actors professional rates, it could still be a community theater.

  • They are members because, in addition to their tuition-based youth theater programming, they produce shows using adult actors. They also generally do not charge fees for participation in their adult community theater productions.

  • Greater Atlanta is defined a location within a 40 mile radius of the Five Point MARTA station in downtown Atanta.

  • One of the best ways would be to join the Atlanta Community Theatre Association Facebook Group.
