These very special members are recognized annually in Marquee®. Any amount over the Regular dues rate is tax-deductible, as allowed by law.

Gift memberships are available in all categories. The recipient is provided with the name of the donor and information about THSA.


Member Benefits

Members of THSA in all categories receive the following benefits:


Publications

Members receive our quarterly journal, Marquee®, an illustrated Annual, and a quarterly Newsletter. They are also entitled to receive our e-mailed NewsFlash.

Marquee coverMarquee®, now in its 41st year, features in-depth articles with numerous rare historic photographs from our extensive collections. The quarterly Newsletter contains information on members, THS activities, and timely updates of theatre-related news and events from around the world. The e-mail NewsFlash regularly provides the latest news on theatres and theatre-related activities, and is available only to members on request.


Members are encouraged to submit news items for both the Newsletter and NewsFlash.

Annual cover The Annual, published since 1973, is an in-depth, profusely-illustrated, large-format publication on a specific theatre or theatre-related topic.

Most back-issues of Marquee® and the Annuals are available for purchase online on the THS website.

Member Discounts

Members receive exclusive discounts on registration fees for our annual Conclave, a summer tour of historic theatres in a different part of the country each year, and on fees for research or the purchase of photos and slide copies from our American Theatre Architecture Archive. Members also receive special discounts on sales promotions of newly-published theatre books offered during the year.

Voting and Holding Office

Members may vote to elect a Regional Director in their geographic area. Elections are held every odd-numbered year. They may also vote to ratify amendments to the THSA By-Laws. Members for at least two consecutive years are also eligible to run for election to the board as a Regional Director.

Member Awards

Each year, a member is selected as Member of the Year for his or her outstanding effort and contribution to the organization. Nominations are solicited from the membership, with the final selection made by the Board of Directors.

Writing or Volunteering for THS

Members may submit articles for consideration for publication in Marquee®. Interested members may also volunteer to serve on various committees in line with their interests or expertise. Members in the Chicago area are invited to Volunteer at THS headquarters.

And Finally...

Members have the satisfaction of knowing that their membership helps support THS's efforts to collect, preserve and celebrate the rich heritage of America's historic theatres! This has been our mission since our founding in 1969 and we sincerely invite you to join us!
