I’m a small company, can I afford to be a PACT member?

Absolutely! Member dues are a sliding scale based on an average of each member’s annual gross revenues for the past three years. We want to ensure that there are no financial barriers to becoming a PACT member. If you have concerns about this please contact PACT’s Membership & Communications Manager, Ainslee Jessiman.

I’m not a professional theatre company. Can I still be a part of the PACT network?

Yes you can! If you want to connect with your peers via our region or caucus networks, sit on a committee, and be a part of the national conversation then consider becoming a PACT Colleague. As a Colleague you still have access to many of our benefits such as our Learning and Networking events and opportunities.

Educational institutions or non-producing companies can apply to become Organizational Colleagues. Theatre professionals not currently employed by a PACT Member or Colleague company and students can apply to be invituatl colleagues.
