Acme Theater Company is a theater company run by and for teenagers and its motto is "serious theater for the fun of it." I have been in Acme for 3 years now and I have worked as an actor, lighting designer, and served on the Acme Council of Executives as member-at-large. Acme allows teenagers to assume positions of leadership with many responsibilities that teenagers are hardly ever trusted with. I have grown as a person due to my involvement in Acme and I have learned many valuable life skills such as time management, working in groups, leading a team, working with children during Acme's summer camp, and serving on a board. Acme is my home away from home, my family and the place that I most want to be.
