Actors Repertory Theatre was founded by a group of performing arts professionals in an effort to help fill the need for a venue where professional actors, directors, playwrights, screenwriters and technicians could develop innovative productions of contemporary works, new plays, musicals as well as screenplays for the rising independent digital film market. It is our goal to explore issues of importance in our diverse community while challenging our audience with provocative works. Additionally, ART is committed to the training and development of aspiring theatrical talent, as well as offering ongoing training for experienced theatre professionals. This vision is realized through classes and workshops, our season of plays, special group outreach projects, a developmental new-play and screenplay reading program and encouragement of related art forms. Nurtured by its core of professionals, ART was created to provides a home for the emerging theatre and digital film artist.
