About This Cause

Established in 1991, the mission of Arlington Community Theatre DBA Arlington Children's Theatre, is to embrace, enrich, educate, entertain, and encourage children and their families, within the Boston area, through its commitment to a unique, quality theatre program. ACT embraces by opening its doors to all who wish to participate regardless of background, experience, or acting, dancing or singing ability. 
 ACT enriches by providing a safe, welcoming space where children can be exposed to new experiences, different points of view, and challenged beyond their current selves. 
 ACT educates formally through its workshops, programs and high-quality productions led by staff with years of experience and dedication to theatre. ACT also educates informally by helping give children the freedom to express themselves, and develop the communication, teamwork, and conflict resolution skills necessary to see a complex production with many personalities come to life. ACT entertains by creating excellent, professional-looking and -sounding productions that everyone can enjoy and be proud of: the ACTors, their parents, the artistic staff, and the local community. 
 ACT encourages by supporting everyone in the ACT community and teaching them to be resilient, humble, and to persevere.
 ACT hires high-quality theatre professionals to serve as artistic staff and works with local venues to ensure that shows are staged with as much professionalism as possible. Parents are the backbone of ACT and our parent volunteers who sew, build, buy, bake, create, write, corral, fund-raise, donate and photograph make each show possible. Together, we make theatre that inspires. ACT welcomes all children regardless of theatrical experience and registration is on a first come, first served, basis. Because ACT hopes all children will participate in its programs, financial relief for registration fees is available.
