PROFESSIONAL THEATRE
The Professional Division seeks to support and serve the professional theatre community in the State of Georgia. The division administers Atlanta Unifieds and sponsors a national new one act playwriting competition. We encourage professional participation in GTC performances and workshops.
The GTC Call Board is a free, statewide resource connecting Georgia's theatre community with current auditions, employment opportunities, creative gigs, grants, and other industry resources. Curated and regularly updated by GTC Board Member Robert Mitchel Owenby, the Call Board is designed to be a one-stop destination for artists, educators, technicians, and arts organizations seeking opportunities and talent. Whether you're looking for your next contract, searching for collaborators, or sharing opportunities with the community, the GTC Call Board helps keep Georgia theatre connected and informed.
