League of Independent Theater

Reading this week's TimeOut NY magazine (issue $669, July 24-30), I came across a small interview with John Clancy (founder of NY Int'l Fringe Festival) regarding what success on Broadway is. His quote on the matter, "Success is having the respect of people you respect."

He is also just starting up an Off-Off advocacy group called the League of Independent Theater, and I'm instantly smitten with the concept surrounding this group's mission:

"1 - To promote the artistic and economic interests of theater professionals working in New York City in theaters of up to 99 seats;
2 - To organize and protect our members to ensure that independent theater is economically viable for all of its practitioners;
and 3 - To advocate on behalf of the decades-old tradition of off-off Broadway theater to ensure that it remains, and grows, as a thriving artistic and economic sector in New York City."

I'm in love, want to join as a member (gotta budget for the year membership) and would even like to gain employment within this group, if possible. Anyone know anything about this group?
