Colorado ACTS Mission Statement
The Actors Company and Theater School (Colorado ACTS), founded and operated by Christians, offers theater classes to children four to eighteen years old (seniors in high school).
The school’s mission is to bring quality children’s drama education to the local community.
At Colorado ACTS, the faculty and staff strive to create a safe place where students cultivate imagination, self-expression, and teamwork. Discipline, self-confidence, and belonging to a community are a few of the many benefits of theatre education.
Who We Are & What We Do
Actor’s Company and Theater School is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) arts corporation and is open to all applicants regardless of race, sex, religion, or physical handicap. Tax deductible donations are needed and welcomed.
ACTS produces mainstream shows. There are about 300 families involved with classes for children 4-18 years old. The summer Family & Friends Productions and year round Community shows include our faculty, alumni and adult family members. We offer classes year round and produce 20-25 full shows a year.
Our productions have ranged from big musicals such as Annie and Fiddler on the Roof to productions from local children’s playwrights like Blarney, Blather and Balderdash (by Patrick Dorn from Pioneer Drama) or The King’s New Clothes (by Edith Weiss from Eldridge Pub.) All productions are paid for from tuition, ticket sales and private donations. Students and Parents are not required to furnish costumes or help with technical aspects of a production (although our families often participate fully).
We are unusual because production classes meet for 2-3 hours only once a week for 2-6 months (depending on the type of class). Normally students audition for parts within a classroom setting, but all students in a class are guaranteed a part.
Approximately 60% of our students are homeschooled and half of our classes meet during the day. Since our inception over 25 years ago, Colorado ACTS has produced more than 300 shows. We are proud of the quality of theatre education that our students receive and the quality of the entertainment that our audiences enjoy.
