Christmas - The American Century Theater

The American Century Theater
“Theater you can afford to see —
Plays you can’t afford to miss!”
Now celebrating it’s 14th year
Cofounded by, and under the Artistic Direction of ,CEO Jack Marshall, TACT is
one of the region’s outstanding, award-winning, non–profit professional theaters.
TACT performs on stages in Arlington and regionally, as well as sponsoring radio
and touring productions, and special education and theater intern projects. TACT also
seeks and produces new stage works about significant events, movements and figures
in 20 th century through its “Robert L. McElwaine American Reflections Project”, an
initiative designed to complement the company’s repertoire of important American
plays and musicals from the twentieth century. Stunt Girl and The Titans are the most
recent examples.
The American Century Theater’s mission is to promote 20 th century theater as
a vital part of our cultural dialogue. Our mission is based on the firm conviction
that this theatrical repertoire — influential and critically acclaimed dramas,
comedies, and teleplays first produced during what Henry Luce called the
American Century — portrays a uniquely American vision that is vital to our
shared cultural heritage. In today’s increasingly polarized society, finding this
common ground has become essential.
Our mission is also driven by the belief that theater should be accessible to
all. For the mainstream audience today, the combination of prohibitive
cost and adult-only themes makes it increasingly difficult to find appropriate
theatergoing experiences for the entire family. We know this need not be the
case, and that America’s finest theatrical works — written for a broad audience
— contain significant themes and ideas that should be part of our collective
wisdom as a nation.
