The League of Independent Theater exists to promote the artistic and economic interests of theater professionals working in New York City in theaters of up to 99 seats. 

The League is a 100% volunteer-led organization, and we need you to help us fight for the community.

Membership to the League of Independent Theater is 100% free - no sign up fee, no dues, and includes our newsletter, which will keep you abreast of all the latest activities, political moves, and fun events.
