WHAT IS STA?

The Shakespeare Theatre Association is a member service Association that began in 1991 and convenes in-person (and digitally) to provide support and mentorship as well as share best practices with US and Non-US colleagues.

Membership now includes over 125 theatres, (and a cadre of associates) in 46 of the 50 US States, representing diverse types of theatre (indoor, outdoor, year-round, seasonal, university-affiliated, free) with wide-ranging budgets (less than $25,000 to $45,000,000 US), and Equity as well as non-Equity companies. STA’s member organizations cover a vast diversity of audiences and staffs composed of a variety of ethnicities, genders, ages and abilities.  Our focus on Shakespeare ensures a mission that is compatible with and influenced by our Membership. Non-US membership includes Argentina, Australia, Bermuda, The Commonwealth of the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, The Czech Republic, Germany and Great Britain.
