ACT Community

ACT Community is an annual theatre program which provides training and performance opportunities for multi-ethnic artists of all ages. This program operates to enhance the cultural and artistic awareness of the community by providing productions that illuminate diversity. ACT community strives to educate, enlighten, and entertain a diverse, multicultural audience by providing exposure to underserved communities.

North of 50

North of 50 is an ACT program that focuses on seniors who may be part of racialized and newcomer groups, low-income, and members of LGBTQIA2S+ communities. This program provides an opportunity for seniors to lead and participate in arts-based practices, including story sharing/journaling, movement, visual art, and mental health workshops. North of 50 promotes volunteerism and mentorship amongst seniors and other generations.

We are very grateful to the Government of Canada for their continued financial support under the New Horizons grant for our North of 50 program since 2018.

ACT’s 2024 production will be called The Social Exchange.

Youth Creative

ACT Youth Creative, is a program that inspires excellence, motivates learning, builds confidence, and sparks a lifelong appreciation for the arts. It offers a fun and challenging educational environment for youth ages 8 – 18. Our Youth Creative team will help your children develop their artistic talents and coach them to strive for excellence. By doing so, students will gain self-confidence and a greater understanding of theatre as they work towards their final live performance on stage at Windsor’s iconic Capitol Theatre.

Sober, second thought, after seeing Guys and Dolls Sunday afternoon, has not swayed me one iota from the decision made hastily as the final curtain fell. That was the best stage production of local, live theatre that I’ve ever seen anywhere in the last fifty years.

I had the great pleasure of seeing ”HAIR” on opening night and there are simply not enough words to explain this extraordinary, exciting, and spectacular play! Go if you can, it’s a must see & 50 years later, this cast brought me right back to my era ~ Loved it

Saw a performance of Dream Girls, put on by the Arts Collective Theatre at the Capital Theatre. For amateurs, this group of first time performers, were incredible. They deserved their standing ovation.

ACT Windsor’s West Side Story is a must-see production, the entire cast is incredibly talented and should be unbelievably proud of themselves. To the production team, thank you for all the hard work that is put into the show, from the costumes to the lighting and the sound, to the directors and ACT Management, thank you for the tremendous amount of time that you have certainly put into the production.

The choreography, the direction, everything was perfect, the way it all blended to help tell the story is phenomenal. Good on all of you, because this show was perfect.

The harmonies throughout the show were sensational, everything sounded fantastic and in line with the music. Congratulations for a show well done.

I still have yet to be disappointed by an ACT production… Every show I have attended has been nothing but phenomenal. You can really see the passion and hard work in every show. Somehow, the energy each night is just as heightened as it is opening night. It’s incredible to see the diversity of our community come to life on stage.

I’ve truly fallen in love with this organization. Absolutely cannot wait for what’s in store!

THESE PEOPLE ARE A GAME CHANGER IN WINDSOR AND ESSEX COUNTY.NO MORE LIP SERVICE TO DIVERSITY.THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF TALENT BEING DEVELOPED.KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. 

Mike, (DREAMGIRLS 2018)

When I started rehearsals with ACT I was extremely nervous and anxious to play piano in front of others, but after continuous support and encouragement from the ACT mentors I was able to play on stage at the Capitol theatre for their production of Hair. The ACT mentors helped me build confidence as a player and an individual. Windsor is lucky to have this non for profit group bring art into our community and believe in young performers.

Not only was Guys and Dolls one of ACT’s best theatre productions ever but that was one of the best theatre productions ever seen in Windsor. I know y’all work very hard. The hard work definitely paid off! Congratulations!
