Who can attend the conference?
Any staff or board member of a TCG member theatre is welcome to attend the conference. Individual artists are also eligible to attend if nominated by TCG or one of its member theatres. University affiliates may also send one representative. Other guests are by invitation only.
Who will be at the conference?
Most often, member theatres are represented by artistic and management staff, as well as board members.
How can I make hotel arrangements?
Included on the main conference page are four different hotel options which we recommend. Those hotels are also offering an exclusive conference rate. There are also a limited number of dorms available at Georgia Tech. Those rooms can be reserved and paid for on the conference registration site as part of your conference registration.
What are the dorms like?
The dorms at Georgia Tech that we will be using are separated into apartments. Each apartment has four single rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room and Ethernet hookups. Breakfast and linen service are also included.
How can I pay for the conference?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and payments by check or money order.
Do I have to pay by credit card if I register online?
If you would like to register online but would prefer not to pay by credit card, choose the option "pay offline." You will then be asked to enter payment details. We accept both checks and money orders, which can be sent to TCG at 520 8th Ave., 24th FL, NY, NY 10018. Attn: Customer Service.
Does TCG offer financial aid?
TCG has limited scholarships available to theatres located 750 miles or more from Atlanta. Indicate your need for subsidy on the registration form. Subsidy recipients will be announced by the end of April. We do our best to assist as many theatres as possible.
Do I have to attend the conference all three days?
While we recommend that participants attend the entire conference for the sake of continuity, we understand that this is not always possible. If you'd like to attend the conference, but are not able to spend all three days with us, there is a one-day registration option available.
I'm a grant recipient - how do I register for the conference?
Invitations will be sent with specific registration instructions and grant related activities.
I was invited as an individual artist last year - am I automatically eligible to go this year?
Each year we require new nominations and each of those are only applicable on an individual per-conference basis. If you wish, you may contact the theatre that nominated you last year and ask them to nominate you once again this year.
Can I nominate someone for a TCG Award?
Nominations for the TCG Awards come from TCG's member theatres, TCG board members and members of the National Council for the American Theatre. The deadline for this year's nominations has already passed.
