Sex, murder, revenge—it's all fair game in this extravagant new adaptation
of the Greek Oresteia. In a wildly erotic staging, A.C.T. shifts the tale of the
curse of the House of Atreus to a decadent, hypnotic world evoking New
York's infamous Studio 54. Dangerously brutal and deftly feminist in its
point of view, Good Breeding pits merciless gods against man in a searing
vision of lust, love, and power. Presented by the A.C.T. Master of Fine Arts
Program, acclaimed director Timothy Douglas, and OBIE Award–winning
playwright Robert O'Hara.
This production features nudity and strong language.
Suggested for mature audiences only.

"Your formal training at A.C.T. is demanding, individual, and intense and is designed to refine your sense of theatrical truth by tuning your human instrument—your voice, body, intellect, and imagination."
Melissa Smith, Conservatory Director
A.C.T. seeks to develop the artist in every actor. We cultivate educated men and women of the theater with a critical sense who will energize and advance performance in America. Our training prepares actors to succeed in all aspects of the profession, but our primary goal is to prepare artists for a lifelong investment in the theater.
Our curriculum combines rigorous training in the practical disciplines of acting with the study, rehearsal, and performance of classical and contemporary works drawn from the world repertoire. We believe that actors who have an intellectual and visceral grasp of dramatic literature, who recognize a relationship between new and classical work, are uniquely prepared to collaborate in the development of new dramatic forms.
