WELCOME TO SANTA CRUZ COUNTY 
ACTORS' THEATRE

Serving Santa Cruz County since 1985, we support, champion, and provide a venue for the performing arts with emphasis on the theatrical arts. In furtherance of this mission, we:

• Offer a subscription season, some self-produced and others co-produced with local producers, hiring local actors and other theater artists
• Hold playwriting contests for aspiring playwrights of ages K-12 and adults, in short short (5-minute) format, 10 minute format, and full-length plays, and bring the winners' plays to life on the stage
• Offer low-cost workshops in theater crafts, such as directing and auditioning skills
• Make our theater available to educational theater projects of the Empire Academy, the Georgiana Bruce Kirby School, Spring Hill School, and Gateway School
• Rent out our theater at cost to independent theater companies, one-person shows, and improvisational theater groups who need affordable appropriate space in which to practice and perform their art
• Host the summer Improvfest, showcasing many local improvisational theater troupes as well as out-of-town groups, entertaining Santa Cruz's many summer visitors
• Are in the process of developing an apprenticeship program in conjunction with Cabrillo Community College
