Professional Theatre Network
Network
Chair
Nora Matthews of CitiArts Theatre for Young Audiences: citiartstya@yahoo.com
Network Description
The Professional Theatre Network includes
individuals working with organizations that produce theatrical events. We
are comprised of artistic, management, and educational staff members from
a diverse array of theatres and organizations, as well as freelance
artists and artist-educators. We strongly believe that theatre is valuable
and support AATE in its evolution as the national voice for Theatre &
Education.

AATE Theatre Member
Directory
(Nora Matthews & Steve Barberio, Chairs)
We will
compile a directory of member theatres to be posted on the AATE website
and distributed at the 2005 Chicago conference. The directory will include
a list of: artistic/management heads, processes for submitting original
work, freelance directors, internship query contacts, and past theatre
seasons. The goals of the directory are to help other theatres to know
who is already a member of AATE, allow New Guard members to get in touch
with theatre for internships/jobs, allow directors to compare seasons and
contact one another, and give playwrights clearer answers on submission
policies of professional TYA companies.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Send an email to
citiartstya@yahoo.com that you would like your theatre to be included in
the directory and we will send you a form to complete.

Connecting
Interns with Internship Providers
In Collaboration with the
College/University/Research Network
(Cheryl Kaplan, Robyn
Flatt, & Barbara McKean, Chairs)
This project will build
connections between theatres and universities who place interns, and
students and young professionals seeking internships and observations. The
University Network will develop a list of university programs that either
require or highly recommend internships for undergraduate students. The
outcome of this project will be a resource link on the AATE website as
well as an annual conference event which brings together theatre
representatives and those interested in internships. Check back for details regarding the outcome of this event!
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Email Cheryl (clkaplan@utmb.edu)
to let us know any concerns or thoughts you have regarding internships that
might make this session more useful in the future.
