About OCTA

Founded in 2010, the mission of Oregon Community Theatre Alliance is to broaden the base of appreciation and support of live theater by enhancing and nurturing the statewide alliance and cooperation of Oregon's community theaters. OCTA has made tremendous impact, thanks to the help of members and volunteers from theaters across Oregon. Please join us by supporting our efforts to connect with other theatre makers around the state and share resources!

DEFINING COMMUNITY THEATER

Community theater refers to theater primarily produced by and for residents of a local or regional geographical area. Artistic, technical, and administrative staff members, including musicians, may be paid as full-time, part-time, or contract employees. Auditions for productions are typically open to the general public. While actors in productions are volunteers, however they may receive stipends, travel reimbursement, complimentary tickets, or other forms of compensation. Actors may be members of Actors’ Equity Association or other professional unions, but may not be compensated at a professional (Equity) “living wage” scale for their performance in standard community theater productions. Union members must follow the applicable contract or code required by their representative union. The primary distinctive characteristic of community theater is that auditions are announced and open to members of the community (the general public).

EDUCATION

OCTA provides educational and networking opportunities for community theater groups throughout Oregon by meeting for monthly Theatre Chats online, an annual conference of workshops and presentations, and the biennial One Act Fest. In addition, OCTA encourages leaders to meet, network and share resources through our social media sites.
