International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (IATSE)

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts has evolved to embrace the development of new entertainment mediums, craft expansion, technological innovation and geographic growth. Its members work in different forms of live theater, motion picture and television production, trade shows and exhibitions, television broadcasting, and concerts as well as the equipment and construction shops that support all these areas of the entertainment industry. The role of IATSE is to advocate for those in the entertainment industry through effective rank and file empowerment, political engagement, and our dedication to grass roots organizing. On both the International and local union levels, the motivating principle of the IATSE is to represent every worker employed in our crafts.
