Game Change: It’s that moment when an unlikely dream suddenly becomes reality and more becomes possible. The rules change, the pieces on the board flip, and the world scrambles to adapt to the vision of the game-changer. Our not-for-profit theatre movement was launched by our game-changing founders, and is renewed by every theatremaker that dares to create a new artistic form, or forge a deeper connection to our communities, or find a more sustainable way to support our theatres.

From June 18-20 in Cleveland, Ohio, TCG’s 25th National Conference will convene hundreds of theatre people to empower game-changing moments through peer exchange, model sharing, and exciting speakers. When the largest national gathering of theatre people turns 25, it’s also time for a party!

This 25th National Conference will also be an opportunity to reconnect and reexamine our purpose. What began as an intimate gathering of game-changing founders has blossomed into a diverse, multi-generational exchange between hundreds of theatre people from across the world. What should the role of the National Conference be now, with our ever-expanding field finding its way in a digital age? How can our coming together for three days lead to stronger relationships, groundbreaking ideas, and an ever more vital theatre ecology?
