About American Conservatory Theater - ACT

American Conservatory Theater nurtures the art of live theater through dynamic productions, intensive actor training in our conservatory, and an ongoing dialogue with our audience and our community. We embrace our responsibility to conserve, renew, and reinvent the rich theatrical traditions that are our collective legacy, while exploring new artistic forms and new communities.

The 2009-10 season has been announced! We're celebrating the 100th anniversary of A.C.T.'s magical, historical stage with a season as inspiring and unabashedly theatrical as the theater itself. The stage will be filled with great masters, unbridled passion, phenomenal acting, and big ideas, along with a host of free events, parties, and discussions—and we hope you'll join us for the adventure.

Waiting For Godot
Golden Anniversary
By Ryan Wiederkehr (10/13/2006)

" If you graduated from high school, chances are very good that you've had at least one encounter with Samuel Beckett's sparse, riddling play Waiting for Godot. This year Godot, which many who know of such things call one of the most influential plays of the twentieth-century turns fifty, and to celebrate the A.C.T. has decided to revive the old goat once again. Carey Perloff, the A.C.T.'s artistic director, sits at the helm as the director of the production. "

Who’s Your Dada?
By Clifton Lemon (09/22/2006)

" The first ten minutes of "Travesties", written by Tom Stoppard, is particularly disorienting, but in a way that turns out to make sense later (if that makes any sense). The main character, Henry Carr, an elderly, loquacious, senile English gentleman, rolls around on a stark stage in an antique wheelchair, dressed in a fez-like hat and richly embroidered robe, rambling on about his reminiscences of living in Zurich in 1917.

The Uniqueness of Being(s)
By Nirmala Nataraj (05/11/2006)

" If you stop to closely consider all the elements that constitute an individual -- core beliefs, relationships, ideals, a fate largely dictated by the convergence of social and economic conditions -- then the concept of uniqueness becomes a bit far-fetched. Caryl Churchill examines all of the above to brilliant effect in her play "A Number", which dissects the archetypal father-son relationship under the heavily subdued lights of genetic engineering. "
