Community Theater Associations
Ohio Community Theater Association
“OCTA is a service organization for more than 100 community theatres in Ohio and adjacent areas of bordering states. Since its formation in 1953, it has grown to be one of the largest and most successful organizations of its kind. With its funding from the Ohio Arts Council, donations, dues and proceeds from its many self supporting activities, OCTA provides a growing list of services to its member theatres.”
American Association of Community Theater
“The American Association of Community Theatre (AACT) is the national voice of community theatre, representing the interests of its members and over 7,000 theatres across the U.S.”
