There are two levels of Organizational Membership that will give you and your organization access to LA Stage Alliance programs.
FULL ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERSHIP
With Full Organizational Membership, your organization gains full access to all of LASA's programs for one calendar year from the time you apply (updated to the nearest quarter.)
To apply, fill out the two page Membership Application, submit any supplementary materials you may have (see the application) and pay your annual dues.
It usually takes the LA Stage Alliance office from 3-7 business days to process a new membership. Once you have been processed, you will be given
a login and password to the LAStageAlliance.com website, a website manual, a packet of information on our programs, and be placed in our database
for opportunities that may come up throughout the year.
DUES:
Dues are based on a percentage of your annual gross income. Annual dues are 1/10th of 1% (or .001) of the Organization’s gross annual income from
all financial sources with a minimum of $300 and a maximum of $1800.
There is a one time initiation fee of $100 upon joining.
Dues are re-evaluated annually. There is a $100 late fee if the renewal dues are
30 days past due.
All Non-Profit Organizations must submit their most recent IRS form 990 with the application or upon
renewal of organizational membership.
All For-Profit Organizations must either:
1. Share stated income by submitting a current income report from your accountant
OR
2. Dues will be based on the total number of aggregate seats under one roof according to the
following breakdown:
99 seats or less = $300
100-249 seats = $800
250-499 seats = $1300
500 or more seats = $1800
In the case of a for-profit organization without a fixed venue, dues will be based on the size of the rental
venue at the time of application and dues will be evaluated annually upon renewal.
For most small theatres or new producing organizations, the initial dues payment will be $400. ($300 annual dues plus $100 initiation fee).
Please also note that in addition to the annual dues, there is a $60 Registration Fee for each production that is registered for the Ovation Awards. (This fee will increase to $90 after opening night.)
None of the other LASA programs require an additional fee (other than purchase/transaction fees for advertising etc.)

ONE-PRODUCTION RIDER MEMBERSHIP
With a one-production Rider Membership, your organization gains full access to all of LASA's programs for the duration of one designated production.
Your membership remains active until the production closes or changes venues. You may only utilize the LASA programs in relation to the registered production.
To apply for a Rider Membership, your organization must be producing in a venue that is already a full member of LA Stage Alliance.
If you are co-producing with a theatre that has a full membership, you do not need to get your own membership - they can use theirs to gain access to all LASA programming.
To apply, fill out the two page Rider Application, submit any supplementary materials you may have (see the application) and pay your one-time $100 dues.
It usually takes the LA Stage Alliance office from 3-7 business days to process a new membership. Once you have been processed, you will be given
a login and password to the LAStageAlliance.com website, a website manual, and a packet of information on our programs.
DUES:
Dues for a Rider Membership are a one-time payment of $100.
