Membership fee:
The membership fee is a solidarity contribution and support for the independent scene. There are three types of membership fee:
- Standard fee: 50€
- Reduced fee: 35€
- Support contribution: 150€
If the normal membership fee leads to a financial overload, you can pay only the reduced fee at your own discretion – in this case we do not require proof.
You can pay the membership fee in cash at the IG Freie Theaterarbeit office or transfer it directly to the association’s account:
IBAN: AT32 1490 0220 1000 2897

Once the membership fee has been received, a membership card will be issued for the year in question. This allows you to take advantage of our services and discounts. The membership fee/card is always valid from January 1 to December 31 of each year. Membership is automatically renewed at the beginning of each year until further notice.
