Communicate, Promote, Educate, Support, Recognize, Celebrate. We all benefit when we join together!

EMACT's membership year begins on July 1st and ends June 30th.  Community theatre companies or groups must be members of EMACT to enjoy its benefits and services, which include the DASH program, the DASH Plus program.

The Distinguished Achievement and Special Honors (DASH) program sends two consultants to performances of a group’s show, who rate every aspect of the show according to standard criteria. At the end of the year those with the highest ratings are nominated for awards in many categories. The winners are announced at the annual EMACT Gala. The DASH Plus program offers consultants to member groups to provide feedback on a performance of a show. Theatre groups will receive a copy of the comments from the consultants but not the scores.

Groups MUST be current EMACT members in order to receive a DASH or a DASH Plus consult, and be eligible for DASH Awards.

Members also receive many other benefits including networking, promotional, and educational opportunities, eligibility for local and regional festivals and more. Join or Renew Now!
