About
About the Alliance
The Kingston Theatre Alliance (KTA) is an incorporated non-profit that aims to situate Kingston as a centre of cultural innovation in a way which promotes tourism, economic viability and cultural research and development. It advocates for Kingston-based theatre artists and organizations, acting as a umbrella organization to connect artists of all levels with the backing of professional, educational partners in the public and private sectors.
The KTA was founded in 2012 as the AKT (Alliance of Kingston Theatre) leading up to Library Chronicles, a site-specific 4-play theatre experience which was produced in the Central Branch of the Kingston Library. The AKT became the KTA in 2015 during pre-production for the inaugural Kick & Push Festival.
