Organizational Profile

SETC has served professional, community-based, and academic theatremakers since 1948. It is firmly rooted in the Southeast and is dedicated to serving members from its ten-state region (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia). Still, many of SETC’s programs are available to and benefit the national theatre field. The centerpiece of its work is a yearly convention that brings together thousands of practitioners from across the country for workshops, auditions, festivals, classes, and networking opportunities.

Many members trace their continuing educational and professional opportunities back to their work with SETC, and the conference is a place where SETC members share ideas and expand their artistic practices, learn and improve skills, and connect with a wide array of practical opportunities in their field. Other programs include auditions and job fairs, area-specific festivals and convenings, awards and scholarships, a Leadership Initiative for training and mentorship, and publications.
