Support Us

ACT serves youth and families across greater Boston who seek meaningful engagement in the performing arts. Our community is defined both geographically—primarily spanning Arlington, Somerville, Cambridge, and surrounding towns—and culturally, encompassing young people of diverse backgrounds, identities, abilities, and lived experiences. We focus on creating accessible, affirming, and developmentally appropriate programming that welcomes students regardless of prior training or experience.

Each year, over 200 children participate in our performances, classes, and camps, and we contract with over 50 creative professionals from around Greater Boston. While program fees offset some of these costs, we rely on the support of our community to make ACT programming successful through volunteering, financial support, and in-kind donations.
