Autism Community Theatre (ACT Workshop) is a NYC based nonprofit that offers a unique theatre workshop for teens and young adults on the autism spectrum. Autism Community Theatre (ACT Workshop) offers fun and engaging workshops for teens and young adults on the autism spectrum. Autism Community Theatre is a creative and accepting community-based BITOC that engages teens and young adults on the spectrum in fun and authentic theater activities. Through guided immersion in theatre work, this neuro-diverse group of BIPOC actors is learning how to “play” in ways that strengthen communication skills, reciprocity, theory of mind, flexible thinking and imagination. The result of our work is a strong sense of belonging, of community and, over time, an ensemble emerges.
