Each of the 10 southeastern states has its own theatre organization that holds conferences, events, workshops, competitions, auditions and theatre festivals. If you’re looking for a place to get involved in your state, you’ll be welcome — whether you’re an individual, a representative from an educational institution or professional organization, or an emerging artist. Make sure to review a state’s website to read about the array of festivals, locations and dates that they offer.
