Hundreds of actors. Dozens of theatres. One weekend only. The 2025 General Auditions is open for registration!

Coming up at TBA: Join us for this panel webinar about breaking into acting work beyond the stage and screen. Hear from professional performers working in voice over, motion capture (Mocap), standardized patient simulations, and DMing for Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. These jobs are tried-and-true ways for actors to supplement work in theatre and film while keeping their skills sharp.

It's difficult to find words for the enormity of loss Bay Area theatre faces with the loss of any theatre, nonetheless The Cutting Ball Theater and California Shakespeare Theater. We are grateful for Melissa Hillman's thoughtful reflection in American Theatre, celebrating the history and impact of these two companies. What parts of their legacy do you hope to carry into the next chapter of Bay Area theatre?

Do you know what's happening with arts audiences, or are you working off last year's information? Patron behavior has continued to evolve through 2024, and our partners at TRG Arts are sharing the insights you need to navigate the current market. The data show that we are in a new stage of audience recovery with its own emerging challenges. We'll focus on what's going on with patron retention and frequency — which represents an opportunity for stabilizing revenue in the sector.
