The Roundtables provide an opportunity for theatre professionals from our organization members to get together and discuss job strategies, meet with experts in their respective fields, share information with colleagues, and collaborate for the good of the whole community in a casual networking environment. Currently running roundtables are:
- Development Roundtable
The Development Roundtable gathers development representatives from member theatres in order to network and share fundraising ideas and concerns.
- Marketing Roundtable
The Marketing Roundtable gathers marketing representatives from member theatres in order to network, share marketing ideas, and brainstorm strategies that all members can utilize to promote awareness of Philadelphia theatre and the Theatre Alliance as a central source of information. Programming is developed by a committee of member representatives. In addition to the roundtable gatherings, there is a Google discussion group for soliciting advice from peers, and the opportunity to connect socially at specially offered “Happy Hour and a Show” gatherings.
- Leadership Roundtable
The Leadership Roundtable is an ad hoc roundtable, called together for times when the Artistic and Managing directors of the community need to meet to discuss big-picture issues in the community. Past roundtables have included discussions such as the implications of reports like the Theatre Alliance’s Snapshot report and the Cultural Alliance’s Engage 2020 project.
Theatre Alliance Listserv
In addition to the professional roundtables, the theatre community and the public also have the abiltity to interact virtually through the Theatre Alliance Listserv. The Theatre Alliance hosts a free and easy-to-use listserv for anyone with an interest in receiving ticket offers, job listings, sharing or requesting information, and engaging in dialogue relevant to the theatre community. Administered by Yahoo! Groups, the Theatre Alliance listserv provides an open forum for local theatre artists, administrators, and supporters to post and reply to group messages.
