Join TLA
All are welcome to join TLA—not only librarians, archivists and curators in performing arts collections, but also private collectors of performing arts memorabilia, performing arts scholars and teachers, librarians of all kinds who love the performing arts, performing artists of all kinds who love libraries, and anyone else who values information resources that serve performing arts research, education and production.
As of November 2025, the current TLA Board offers all new and renewing TLA members a free membership for the next year. After a period of relative inactivity, we invite all those interested in either joining or returning to TLA over the next few months to help drive the next chapter of the organization.
None of the current membership categories listed should currently charge a fee, but you can select “Free Membership” if you have not been a member before!
Dues and all other contributions to TLA are tax-deductible as provided by law. Theatre Library Association is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) Corporation, chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. FEI #51-0180775.
