Member Theatre Staff Roundtables & Affinity Spaces
The events listed below are for MEMBER THEATRE STAFF ONLY.
Please Note: If you register for one of the below roundtables and are not on staff at one of our member theatres, you will be removed from the registration list.
Roundtables and affinity spaces are typically virtual with the exception of a few in-person events (in-person events are noted in the descriptions). All staff members, (full-time, part-time, and interns/apprentices) of theatres within the New Jersey Theatre Alliance membership are welcome to attend any roundtable that is of interest to them.
Roundtables are peer-to-peer resources to learn and network; usually facilitated by a guest speaker, the roundtable chair, or a staff member of the Alliance. Affinity Spaces are brave spaces to connect with peers where the priority is self-care and community care.
