ACT I (Artists' Cooperative Theatre) is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing theatrical gems - both classic and modern - to Nashville audiences. Now in its eighteenth season, ACT I has presented productions of more than 50 of the world's greatest plays. ACT I continually receives high praise from critics and audience members alike, and its productions and performers are recipients of multiple prizes and awards. ACT I performs in the intimate Darkhorse Theatre, a space which offers state-of-the-art sound and lighting.

THE COMPANY
ACT I believes that the most important function of theatre is to describe and comment upon the human condition, to examine the tragedy and comedy of what we are, and perhaps to suggest what we ought to become. Drama which evolves out of this function fulfills the highest purpose of theatre. It provides for the type of meaningful examination that must survive as a major part of theatre. Toward that end, ACT I concentrates its focus upon: (1) the presentation of classical theatre, modern and otherwise: and (2) the creation of an appreciation for and love of this work through education.
