Athens Community Theatre
ACT is the resident theater company of The Arts Center. Established in 1980, it is the oldest community theater operating in the tri-county area. ACT produces at least two plays and one musical each year in the Sue E. Trotter Theater at The Arts Center. Other programs include play reading gatherings and staged readings. Participants are all volunteer.
ACT’s mission is to use the transformative, inspiring, collaborative elements of theatre to create a dynamic artistic space for our community – a place where audience members from diverse backgrounds see their stories depicted onstage and a place where theatre artists feel safe acting as storytellers. We hope you’ll join us – on stage, back stage, and in the audience.
