InterACT at Home

While our theaters are dark, we’ve created virtual InterACT events that give you an up-close, backstage look at the inner workings of theater, as well as the opportunity to virtually engage with artists and other theatergoers, expand your imagination in new ways, and help build a better world through theater.

InterACT at Home kicks off with these new programs:

Take 10

Fun interactive theater games for all ages from A.C.T.'s Manager of Community Programs Stephanie Wilborn. Take 10 minutes to let you imagination soar and laugh with friends and family. Tune in for a new game every week.

Meads Reads

In this book club for plays, Director of Dramaturgy and New Work Joy Meads hosts a lively conversation about an irresistibly rich dramatic text. After reading the same play, the group will gather on Zoom to dig into its juicy layers of meaning. Each play comes with a suggestion for dinner from a local restaurant and/or a drink recipe from a local mixologist, and we will partner with small publishers, local booksellers, and individual playwrights to make scripts available.

*NEW* We will discuss August Wilson's play Ma Rainey's Black Bottom at the next scheduled meet-up on Thursday, June 25 at 5 p.m.

Takes on a Scene

Artists provide commentary—their takes—on a specific scene from a recent A.C.T. production. Get a feel for the different points of view and the choices that go into bringing a script to life.

In our newest takes, get backstage insight into what Tony Award–winning director Frank Galati calls “one of the strangest scenes in all dramatic literature”—the animal transformation of Gene in Eugène Ionesco’s Rhinoceros. Galati, Scenic and Costume Designer Robert Perdziola, and actors Matt DeCaro and David Breitbarth provide comment.
