THIS IS US!

At ACT 1, we believe every child deserves a chance to shine. We’re a growing nonprofit theatre company with a simple dream: to bring the joy and power of theatre to every child in our community. Our goal is to reach students from all backgrounds, from local programs to Title I schools, and make sure every child feels seen, heard, and valued.

We’re building a place where kids can discover confidence, creativity, and connection through the arts. A place where they can laugh, learn, and belong. Our classes and performances help young people grow not just as performers but as kind, capable, and compassionate individuals.

ACT 1 isn’t just about theatre. It’s about hope, opportunity, and family. We’re here to prepare students and children for their ACT 2, whatever stage of life comes next.

We’re just getting started, and we can’t do it without you. With your support, we can open more doors, reach more schools, and help more children step into the spotlight. Together, we can make sure every child has a chance to find their voice and shine.
