Yay! Television production companies are moving to the Austin area again, and they can barely employ people fast enough to meet their tax incentive hiring requirements. Theatre people, heads up! Grab some of this work!

Sister Industries

Much crosses over between the sister industries of live theatre and film production. They've always shared actors, designers, and casting directors — plus, playwrights often end up writing screenplays. In addition, theatres climbed the live-streaming/recorded production learning curve during the pandemic, and many will retain some incarnation of a digital platform going forward. Theatre directors attempted to add video editing, cinematography, continuity, adapting scripts for screen, etc. into their skill sets (and realized that making movies is HARD). In spite of all these commonalities, organizations that support film often don’t pay much attention to theatre and vice versa! We want to change that. Though ATX Theatre focuses exclusively on live theatre/theatre workers/the audiences who love them, we honor our artist members who cross between the two industries daily. We hope to contribute to their prosperity and growth here by increasing knowledge, communication, and community between the two industries.
