Volunteer Theatre Actors' Association, Elmont

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
As a non-profit, we assist community theater actors develop personally and professionally. Our mission is similar to "Actors Equity" but our members are non-equity and there are no hefty dues. We only request this one time donation - it covers you for life!

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
We felt that community theater actors should have similar perks as protections that Equity actors do. All our services are free to members - career counseling, audition prep, opportunity to apply for grants, advocacy services, events, webinars, and more!

What do you love most about your job?
That's easy - helping hard working actors who are often not paid. We take pride in suggesting guidelines to make sure they're rested, safe, and treated fairly.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
Thank you (with a tear rolling down her face). Simple but powerful.
