How to Join AITA/IATA
YOU CAN JOIN THE ASSOCIATION IN MANY WAYS
The first and maybe most important way is by creating a theatre performance to participate in an AITA/IATA supported event…
Become a National Centre Member
For organisations who are a network, a concentrator of activities, local and global, who are working proactively in the field of amateur theatre and who are an official body representing amateur theatre activity on a national level or in a self-governing territory which is a part of a country.
Become an Associate Member
For individual people, organisations or groups who are actively involved in amateur theatre.

What can AITA/IATA do for you ?
If you want to make friends with like-minded people working in the theatre, mainly on a non-professional basis, and take the opportunity to transport your theatre beyond your own national borders, then AITA/IATA exists for you.
AITA/IATA is the global voice of amateur theatre, providing data and information to practitioners, businesses, other arts and non-profit organisations, as well as the media and representatives of local, state and national governments.
