Annual Conference
Every fall, the TBA Annual Conference brings together theatremakers from all disciplines and regions across the Bay to make professional connections, learn new skills, and foster creative solutions to the problems facing the community. It's the only regional performing arts industry conference in California.
TBACon takes place on even years and focuses on leadership. Experts share insights on where the field is headed, and industry leaders unearth their successes and challenges.
TBAConnect takes place on odd years and focuses on craft and creatives. Artists, designers, and technicians lead hands-on workshops and panel discussions.

Every winter, the TBA General Auditions brings together casting professionals, artistic directors, and over 250 local actors for a weekend of Bay Area talent.
