Interested? JOIN TODAY!

There are a few basic requirements community theatres must meet in order to qualify for membership into the Ohio Community Theatre Association:

Is yours a non-professional, not-for-profit Community Theatre?

Does your theatre present an annual production of one or more productions?

Is your theatre work performed on a volunteer basis?

Do your actors work without being paid for their performances?

Is your community theatre in Ohio, or in one of Ohio's five neighboring states and within 50 miles of the Ohio state line?

If you answered YES to all of the questions listed above, your theatre may qualify for membership into OCTA. Email us with the name of your theatre, address (including county-this helps us determine the proper region), telephone number and the name of a theatre contact person duly authorized to actively pursue membership. We will use this information to put you in contact with the appropriate regional representative to get you on your way with becoming a member of what has become known as a premier community theatre organization, not only in Ohio, but nationwide.

Theatre Membership Benefits include:

Access to over 2,000 titles in OCTA's Script Lending Library for review by your theatre's play reading committee;

Costume and/or Prop exchange sharing with other OCTA member theatres;

Possibilities exist for excerpting your theatre's productions at OCTA's regional and state festivals

And more ...

For theatres that join after the beginning of a calendar year, the second year's dues are pro-rated at five dollars per month. So a theatre joining OCTA in July would have second-year dues of $30.00.
