The Professional Non-Profit Theater Coalition (PNTC) seeks to advance the thousands of institutions with tens of thousands of workers serving more than 75 million Americans who engage with live theater and the performing arts every year. Theatermakers are key contributors to our nation’s broader creative economy, which generated $152 billion in economic activity in 2022 and supported 2.6 million jobs.

The Coalition’s inclusive membership is composed of institutions and diverse leaders from local communities in every state. PNTC promotes lasting governmental partnership with a particular focus on arts education, workforce development and infrastructure needs.
