Become a Member
How—and why—to become an ACT member
Members are the backbone of our all-volunteer organization! Membership gives you voting privileges at our quarterly membership meetings on matters ranging from new capital projects to selection of our production season and board of directors. Your membership lets you vote on production awards for our annual recognition event, Big Night. Our play reading and nominating committees are chosen from the membership ranks as well.
You can earn a membership by volunteering at ACT for at least six hours during a season. (The ACT season runs from September 1 to August 31.) Some of the volunteer opportunities that count toward an ACT membership include:
- serving on the board or in a manager position
- directing a show
- working on the production staff of a show
- performing in a show
- working front-of-house positions (usher, house manager, box office staff)
- serving on a committee
If you’d like to confirm whether you’ve earned a free membership with volunteer hours, please contact volunteermanager@albanycivic.org.
Paid memberships are also available. You may purchase a membership for $17 a season at the theater box office or online.
