Roots deep in Alabama history through the merger of two organizations:
The Alabama Theatre League (ATL) and The Alabama Speech Communication and Theatre Association (ASCTA).

A Brief History

Please join us for our annual Fall Summit that brings together theatre artists (educational, professional, and community) throughout Alabama to network and share resources. ACT membership is not required to attend this free event that includes a complimentary lunch. To be included, confirm your attendance by registering. See you there!
Shortly after opening remarks and introductions, we will have a keynote speaker TBA. Then we will have divisional break-out meetings. These small groups allow for specific sharing within a particular area of interest: Community, Professional, Secondary/High School, Collegiate, or Theatre for Youth. We will gather back together for the afternoon session to share, discuss ACT topics of interest to all, hold our annual meeting and elect officers, and present the ACT Awards.
