TC Theatre and Film started as a non-for-profit organization called the Twin Cities Theatre and Film Alliance. The mission of the Alliance was to strengthen, promote and unify the theatre and film communities of the Twin Cities. Part of the fulfillment of this mission was the founding of this website.

In February of 2002 - the Alliance ceased running this site and the site was renamed TC Theatre and Film holding the same mission that the Alliance had- strengthening, promoting and unifying the theatre and film communities of the Twin Cities.

We do this through our on-line classifieds, newsletter, resource directory, classes, the new Searchable Artist and Technican Database, and our involvement with events such as the Twin Cities Unified Auditions.

And here's what the theatre and film community have to say about TC Theatre and Film:

Just a note to thank you and congratulate you on the success of the TCTFA website. When I speak with theatre students or give tours at the theatre, I always ask where they go for information about local auditions and work. They overwhelming name your site. It has become a major resource, and you should know that your time and work on TCTFA is helping improve theatre in the Cities.

TC Theatre and Film is so needed here in the Twin Cities!! There's so much theater, but no other place that ties it all together and allows us to use our resources most efficiently. I've found actors and staff through the classifieds, and the news releases are always informative

I hope that soon enough, this will eliminate any need for the Star Tribune's 550's, and everything we need as a theater community can be found here. If this is your first visit, make sure it's not your last.

I would like to thank TC Theatre and Film for providing affordable - and effective - advertising for our organization, the Screen Actors Guild Foundation's BookPALS (Performing Artists for Literacy in Schools) program. Through TC Theatre and Film, we have been able to reach out to the performing arts community and let people know about our program and many of our new volunteers have come to us directly through TC Theatre and Film.
As a non-profit, all volunteer organization which does not generate income and is completely dependent on grants and charitable donations, you can only imagine how thankful we are to have an affordable alternative to the 550's which are completely out of our league. The web site is easy to navigate and updating information is a snap. TC Theatre and Film is a fantastic resource for our performing arts community!

TC Theatre and Film is the first place I turn to when I look for audition announcements, job announcements, classes and workshops. It's updated faster and more frequently than any other Minnesota theatre-oriented website, and has truly become the virtual "water cooler" of the theatre community. I'm grateful for it every day!

I am very impressed by your website. This is just what the Twin Cities theatrical and film community needs! It has the professional look of the Actors Equity website, which lists auditions from all over the country. In many ways, however, yours is far more comprehensive. You have listings for every kind of employment in the performing arts here in the Twin Cities. Through your web site I have found an excellent voice teacher - Andrew Cooke - gone to three auditions that were not listed in the Trib or on the Equity hotline, and found several half-price and free tickets to events that I was interested in.  In short, the site is just what the Twin Cities theater and film community has needed for the past several years. Congratulations on a great job!

Thanks for all your attention and assistance. I use this site regularly and am very pleased with the results. I refer a lot of others here as well.

The TC Theatre and Film website is a wonderful idea. I was recently looking for someone that gives ear prompter classes but was unable to find anyone until I checked out the TC site. It was frustrating because no one even knew what I was talking about. I could only find classes in Chicago, New York, California, Atlanta, etc. But when I looked through your resources guide, I find some information on some possible workshops. Thanks!

Thank you for providing this great site for auditions and performing arts projects!  It's hard to find a centralized place to check auditions. I'm a member of actor's equity, so it's especially difficult for me, being that there are so few equity theatres here in MN. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your service. This is a great contribution to the local performing community.
