Vancouver Area Theater Alliance (VATA)

A quote from the recent edition of the American Association of Community Theatre's newsletter in regards to community theater companies in general:

"Let us remember that we are not really in competition with one another. We are in competition with other forms of entertainment. Many are perfectly content to see another mediocre movie, to attend another sporting event with their losing team, or to throw yet one more bird at a giggling pig. When considering how to acquire new audiences, don't fight amongst yourselves. Instead, teach more people the joy of theater."

And THAT'S why we have VATA!
