Of course, that's not the only thing.
Being a member means you are entitled (but not limited) to
- working on performances with us. We ask that all returning actors and technicians become a member. This troupe couldn't function without you.
- vote on major troupe issues. We won't do anything affecting the base of ACTT without asking you first.
- run for a position on the Board of Officers. Without people willing to help guide our troupe along and make decisions, we'd never have any performances.
- direct plays. Plays come both big and small, but all of them need the right people to take their vision and make it a reality.
- attend member-only events. These are just for you, and they usually include great food and a fantastic time.
