Announcing Our

2026–2027 Season

Six Productions Meaningful Roles Professional Intensives

The ACT 1 Promise

Every Production. Tuition-Free.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and community partners, every ACT 1 production is tuition-free. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to perform, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

One-Time Registration Fee

Accepted performers pay a one-time, non-refundable $100 registration fee. This fee is not tuition. It covers the essential startup costs that allow each production to run smoothly:

  • Administrative processing and enrollment
  • Student onboarding and communication
  • Professional headshot session for each performer
  • Photographer expenses
  • Production materials and printed resources
  • Insurance and operational costs

If the registration fee presents a financial hardship, confidential assistance is available. No child will be denied the opportunity to participate because of financial need.

How ACT 1 Works

Built different, on purpose.

Tuition-Free, Always

Every mainstage production is completely tuition-free. Talent decides who takes the stage. Money never does. A $100 registration fee applies only after acceptance.

Auditions Measure More Than Talent

We cast for character, work ethic, and heart as much as skill. Auditions help us find performers who will lift the whole company, and a company that will lift them.

Professional Intensives

Real rehearsal standards, real production values, and real growth. Our performers train like professionals and walk away changed by it.

Your moment starts here.

Six productions. One promise. Whether your child is stepping on stage for the first time or chasing a future in theatre, there is a place for them in this season.
