For more than thirty years, the Aberdeen area has offered great support to ACT’s efforts. A community theater, like ours, isn’t possible without an endless supply of volunteers and patrons. We provide a host of opportunities for people to get involved – young or old – on stage, back stage or in the audience. Our Young People’s Theatre programming allows youth six to sixteen to build and enhance their theater skills. Our subsidiary, Capitol Cinema, bring quality film experiences to those interested. If you have any questions about getting involved with ACT or would like more information about our programming, please stop in at our office, 417 S. Main St. (look for the CAPITOL marquee in downtown Aberdeen) or call us at our office (605)225-2228.

ACT’s mission is to promote quality theatrical and film experiences for and by the greater Aberdeen region in order to reach as many people as possible by introducing everyone, youth to senior citizen, to all aspects of quality theater and film arts onstage, on screen, backstage, behind-the-scenes or as audience members to enhance their lives and as economic development for the region. ACT meets this mission by locally producing and presenting live theatrical productions, sponsoring touring productions and special events, holding theater classes and workshops for adults and children through its adult and Young People’s Theatre programming. It also meets this mission by presenting films, producing film festivals and holding film classes and workshops through its Capitol Cinema programming.
