About ACT II

Academy of Community Theatre (ACT II)

The Academy of Community Theatre (ACT II) is a non-profit theatre designed to bring literature to life through wholesome, educational, high-quality productions. Plays are based upon literature to open the door for partnerships with local schools, especially Title 1 schools, where children experience high levels of poverty and may not otherwise have access to live theatre.

ACT II productions are performed at the Colorado Springs Ent Center for the Arts and appeal to a broad audience, including children, parents, singles, and seniors. Their productions offer opportunities for the community to enjoy live theatre together, creating memorable experiences and strengthening familial
bonds.
