Coronavirus Update
Latest updates on our response to the coronavirus pandemic and restrictions – acta is finding new ways to create community theatre and support participants, as part of a gradual transition towards fully reopening when it is safe to do so. Starting with our ‘Creation in Isolation’ projects in Spring/Summer 20, and with first workshops and performance trails in Autumn/Winter.
A Callout for Unsung Heroes
Who is your unsung hero? Someone who walks among us, who has made a difference – from our history, from our family, from across the globe or across the street.
What does make someone a real hero to me?
Box office now open for an evening of live performances on Thursday 17 September.
