Programming & Objectives
PATA facilitates conversations and events to support a changing industry and reflect a core set of priorities: to orient theatre artists to the community and to develop their knowledge and skills. Attend our existing programming to advance your craft and career—and consider shaping its future by proposing something of your own.
Our offerings include:
Industry talks expose the community to important information about the business and marketing elements of theatre. Past conversations have centered on the business of acting and generating online content.
Performer development workshops are led by professionals who provide guidance for those developing their disciplines in acting, musical theatre, and dance. These include one-off events and recurring, in-depth courses.
Production skills workshops center essential backstage and offstage crafts. Playwrights, designers, directors, dramaturgs and others can hone their skills here.
