Gatherings
GVPTA presents and partners on a number of industry gatherings each year to provide a way for theatre community members to network and share knowledge.
GVPTA Members Roundtable
Second Wednesday of each month
NEXT: May 14, 2025, 11am-12pm PT (REGISTER HERE)
Hear from GVPTA leadership as we share updates related to advocacy, programming, resources and activities, and what we're hearing from community. It's also a space for members to share information and ask questions with their peers.
Meetings are open to all GVPTA members, including any staff and board of organizational (Company and Associate) members, along with our Individual members.
Access: Meetings will be held on Zoom with Zoom's auto-captions (English), and will not be recorded. If a GVPTA member who requires ASL interpretation wishes to attend, please inform us as soon as possible so we can make arrangements for an interpreter.

Industry Hangouts
Come and have a snack or a drink and socialize with people who are in the same boat as you! If you're new to the industry, events will have hosts present to help make introductions and connections. And the GVPTA buys appetizers!
