About Table Reads
Athens Community Theatre hosts several opportunities to read plays and musicals for fun each season. Participation in a table read is a great way to “dip a toe in” to see what working with ACT is like. The play is read casually: you can let us know if you want to participate or just listen in. And you can change your mind at any time.

About Athens Community Theatre (ACT)
ACT is the resident theatre company of The Arts Center. Established in 1980, it is the oldest community theatre operating in the tri-county area. ACT produces at least two plays and one musical each year in the Sue E. Trotter Theater at The Arts Center. Other programs include play reading gatherings and staged readings. Participants are all volunteer.
ACT’s mission is to use the transformative, inspiring, collaborative elements of theatre to create a dynamic artistic space for our community – a place where audience members from diverse backgrounds see their stories depicted onstage and a place where theatre artists feel safe acting as storytellers. We hope you’ll join us – on stage, back stage, and in the audience.
