(San Francisco) Bay Area Theatre Artists (or "BATA" for short) is a virtual community of actors, directors, stage managers, and other theatre artists in the San Francisco Bay Area. There are no meetings, no dues, no membership requirements, only a unifying philosophy: making it easy to disseminate important information in a timely manner to a large number of theatre artists. Since so many people in the Bay Area have access to the Internet, this seemed a perfect medium for accomplishing this.
BATA was started as an e-mail list. The list has evolved and grown, but it is still the main focus of BATA. This web site is mainly being used as an interface to the list, making it easier to manage the list and making it easier to subscribe to (and unsubscribe from) the list. The current incarnation of the list is bata@sfbata.org. For more information, check out the BATA List page. Here you can also find archived posts to the list.
