Santa Cruz Actors' Theatre

Founded in 1985, Actors’ Theatre has established itself as a vital part of the greater Santa Cruz area’s theatre community; known for its productions of classical, contemporary, and new plays, and home base for several highly popular Improv groups. Our intimate 88-seat black box theatre draws artists from around the area to work on our season, or offers a perfect setting upon which other productions can be presented. Our outreach efforts target middle school to college level students to provide opportunities to acquire real-world experience and to practice their craft. We support emerging playwrights from around the country and beyond with possibilities to show their new works.
