Our Next Production - Dick Whittington - 24th to 28th November 2026
ACT is a non-professional, not-for-profit theatre group based in Axbridge, Somerset. We aim to provide opportunities for anyone interested in experiencing theatre, whether on-stage, backstage, front of house or as a member of the audience. We normally stage two productions a year, with a programme that provides variety and inclusivity. In recent years, productions have ranged from tragedy to comedy , from Shakespeare to Noel Coward and from Arthur Miller to Alan Ayckbourn.
ACT was founded in 2000 on a wave of enthusiasm generated by that year’s Axbridge pageant. It began with a series of home-grown plays based, like the Pageant, on local history and events. Since then, ACT has gained a reputation for high standards of production and performance.

Our Theatre
ACT's local productions are presented in the Town Hall, located on Axbridge's medieval Square. We have devised ways to convert this multi-purpose hall into a small but intimate theatre space with an adaptable stage and audience layout. Depending on the needs of different productions the theatre can seat an audience of between 50 and 65. The seating is tiered towards the back so all seats have a good view of the stage.
