Introducing….

✨Boston Theatre Resource Round-Up ✨

BATA is SO excited to launch this new directory for Greater Boston Area theater makers looking for resources, whether that be events, workshops, educational programs, fellowship opportunities, headshot photographers, voice teachers, and so much more!

You can find the Round-Up via our website, but we will also be posting on Instagram every Tuesday to highlight various resources and opportunities!

We’ve curated 100+ resources to start, and we need your help to keep building our repository! Check out the submission link in the comments for more information on adding to the Round-Up or having your event featured.

If you are already listed but need to make a change or would like to be removed, you can do that via the link in the comments as well.

Thank you all so much for your help so far, we can’t wait to see how this grows 🌻

Get ready for the audition room (or the job hunt) with a Resume 101 workshop, hosted by Alex Lonati (she/her)! Example resumes will be shared, along with classic "do's" and "do-not's" and best practices. There will also be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

This workshop is donation-based. We recommend a $5 donation, but anything you're able to give will help us keep BATA running for years to come!

Are you struggling with self taping theater auditions? This workshop, led by local Casting Director Melissa Paradice (she/her) from Asylum Casting, will give you the opportunity to submit a self tape, and dissect the audition in person and learn what worked really well, where you could improve and tips on how to make the ENTIRE process easier on yourself.

While BATA is an in-person event, we’re proud to offer this professional development opportunity to the community at large. There will also be time at the end of the workshop for general Q&A about BATA, the audition process, or self taping/auditioning in general.

Talent taking part in the workshop will be asked to submit a self tape of a 1-2 minute monologue prior to the workshop. We recommend using the piece you intend to audition for BATA with to gain the most from this experience.

Cost is $50, but we do have a limited number of fee vouchers available. If cost is a barrier, please email [email protected].
