More Information about Society Membership

As a not for profit society, Gwaandak Theatre Society is governed by a Board of Directors, who are elected by the Society Members. Ultimately, the company serves the membership and the members have control over the company. Gwaandak would like to increase the feeling of community, connection, and ownership over the Theatre by increasing our membership base. 

Who should join the membership?

If you like watching our work, or working with us, you can join the membership! That’s all we are looking for — the people who already work with us, or who already come to our shows, to say, “Yes, I would like to be more involved by helping elect the board each year!”

Membership Benefits:

Access to our members-only events, which in the past have included special invites to Awaken Festival events, a BBQ to kick off Indigenous Summer Play Readings, headshot photography sessions, and more!

Additionally, you’ll receive:

  • Forwards from AD Colin Wolf about gigs or offers from outside of Gwaandak that you may be eligible for;

  • Support in writing applications and grants;

  • Access to Gwaandak Theatre office space, equipment, and Play Lending Library;

  • A 15% discount on equipment rentals.
