Connect. Create. Cultivate.
Professional Division
The professional division seeks to connect professional producing organizations as well as professional individual artistic practitioners with resources like auditions, directories, job opportunities and events. This division serves non-profit arts organizations, for profit arts organizations, road/tour and concert venues as well as individual performing arts makers who work in or aspire to work in the performance, design, tech, education, directing, management and administration areas of the performing arts.
As professional theatre grows in our state, SCTA hopes that it can become an integral part in both the development and sustainability of these organizations and artists. It is also our desire that professional theatre faculty become involved with the Professional Division as part of their own career development. Let us know how we can help YOU!
Professional theatre in the state of South Carolina is alive and well. Whether you are an established AEA theatre, or a professional working freelance in the field, we want to hear from you. Let us know what SCTA can do for you.
Virtual Meeting for SC Theatre Companies & Artists
Held every other month, the Professional Division Virtual Meetings provide a way for theatres and artists to connect, network and discuss current issues in the field. These meetings are moderated by Jenna Elser, the SCTA Professional Division Chair.
We hope as many of you as possible can joins us on Thursday, October 5th at Noon!
