Do you like it LIVE? If you enjoy going to live theatre and wish to support the vibrant theatre community in Greater Albuquerque, you’ll want to join TLC. Members enjoy exclusive benefits and invitations, social gatherings of theatre-lovers, and priority admission to events and programs based around local theatres and their productions. See details of benefits below. A printable Word-format application form may be downloaded from this website, completed, and mailed in, by clicking on either of the links at the top and bottom of this page.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE AND INCENTIVE

The TLC membership year begins 1 July and runs through the end of the following June. To launch TLC, we are actively recruiting members during the first six months of 2012. Those who join from now will enjoy membership for the 2012-13 year from the date they join—up to six months free! To start with at least 100 members as of July 1, 2012, we are offering an incentive of $500. Do you know lots of other theatre-lovers?  If so, this is how you can win $500 for yourself or your favorite theatre. Each application includes a space where it can be “credited” to a person (that’s you!) or ATG Member Theatre (your favorite, perhaps). After July 1, whichever individual or ATG Member Theatre is listed on the most paid membership applications will win the prize. [Applications postmarked to June 30,2012, will be counted.  Applications with no designation will not be counted towards the incentive prize. In the event of a tie, the money will be shared.] So by encouraging Albuquerque’s theatre-goers to join, you stand to earn a magnificent bonus, either for you or your theatre. We hope you will contact those on your e-mail lists and friends you meet to join us. Once they have joined, we think they will be very pleased with the opportunities for fun and learning ahead of them.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN TLC?

Once or twice a month, you’ll be invited to programs designed to enhance your theatre-going experiences, such as these:

• You’ve seen their names listed in your programs, but what do they actually do? And what are their challenges in our theatres? Hear stage managers, lighting designers, or dramaturges tell you their stories.


• You’ll be notified of special discounted performances and get some discount coupons.


• You’ll receive an exclusive invitation to observe auditions, rehearsals, and previews.


• You’ll be invited to meet other theatre enthusiasts at gatherings such as “Dinner and a Show” or “Around the Piano: Favorite Musical Numbers.”


• You can mingle with the cast and crew at exclusive post-show receptions and “Cocktails with the Stars” events.


• You can hear a talk on an unfamiliar playwright or play selection in the current season, find out more about devised and improvisational theatre, and go on a backstage tour.


• You’ll receive special privileges such as early entry to unreserved seating at participating theatres and space-available admission to the activities of ATG’s Circles (workshops for directors, actors, playwrights, etc.)


• You’ll be invited to give VIP feedback to ATG Members on your experiences at the theatre.

And more!... (this is a work-in-progress!)

All these occasions provide an opportunity to network and exchange ideas, information, and experiences with people who share your abiding commitment to live theatre. Showing your TLC membership card will usually be required to receive the discounts and other privileges.
