CTMC East Coast

Each session will be limited to 50 participants, in order to facilitate brainstorming, dynamic sharing, and building idea upon idea. Enroll in the time zone that best suits your ability to participate fully.  

CTMC brings together administrators from all levels of theatre— from the volunteer who "runs things around here" to the "just starting" part-time administrator, to the full-time professional manager.

Participants learn through a customized series of intensive, topic-specific, large and small group discussions that speak directly to participants’ unique challenges and experiences within their own theatre and community. The Conference's virtual format allows more people to take part, while protecting the health of participants, and eliminating expenses for travel and accommodations.
