Over the last 55 years, ACT has supported these voices as they sharpen and grow and has honed its mission around nurturing the theatre makers of the next generation. ACT is dedicated to producing bold, relevant stories on contemporary themes that spark an authentic curiosity about the human condition. We strive to be a truly inclusive theatre, one in which all voices are given the stages they need to tell the deep truth of their vibrant stories. To that end, we are committed to ensuring that all artists shaping our culture have a voice in driving the theatre of tomorrow.
Our renewed commitment to New Works by local playwrights leads our theatre back to life during this extraordinary time of transition bringing Seattle’s voice beyond our stage into the national conversation. ACT’s dedication to producing bold, relevant, works on contemporary themes sparks an authentic curiosity about the human condition matched by an audacious spirit fueled by groundbreaking work.
ACT has produced more than 300 plays and musicals including over 45 World Premieres and is dedicated to producing dynamic and provocative works supporting local excellence reflective of a collective community spirit.
2022 saw the creation of our Young Core Company as a part of our newly re-launched Education Program. The YCC cultivates a professional theatre environment in a culture of fun, inclusion, and supported risk-taking. ACT welcomes youth ages 14-19 with an interest as actors, writers, directors, stage managers, and designers culminating in a public performance.
