TCG Brain Bank: Where Knowledge Earns Interest

Introduction

One of TCG’s greatest assets is the community of brilliant and creative minds represented by our membership. The TCG Brain Bank was created as a way to connect these minds by allowing our members to share their wealth of experiences and knowledge with one another. Even the most seasoned of theatre professionals find themselves facing challenges for which they feel unprepared. By connecting our members with colleagues who have cleared similar hurdles, TCG hopes to foster a sense of community and support while harvesting the knowledge of the field for the greater good.

We are currently inviting executive and senior leadership at TCG member theatres to volunteer their time and expertise to act as guides for their peers. We're also inviting executive and senior leaders seeking counsel on a particular issue to request a match from our bank of volunteers.
