In addition to acting, kids can learn how to create costumes, sets, and props; run crew; or usher. ACT also offers beginning acting workshops for 7-12-year-olds. Shows at several Arlington locations.

Award-Winning Community Theater in an historical setting. Four shows per year, and many volunteer opportunities to participate in any aspect of community theater: set building, costumes, hair and makeup, lighting and sound design, stage management, ushering and more!

In performances, volunteers from the audience share what’s important in their lives — often related to important social issues that affect us. On the spot, actors then portray the heart of what they heard using music, movement, and dialogue. Our events create a respectful atmosphere where every voice can be heard and any story told — however ordinary or extraordinary, difficult, or joyful.
