Anchorage Community Theatre presented its first play, Down in the Valley, in 1953, putting on three more plays that year including Harvey and A Christmas Carol. Check out the list of all our plays at ACT. Over the past six decades we have strived to consistently present great stories at prices everyone can afford. We are looking forward to a great 60th season next year. We open in September with Agatha Christie's mystery thriller And Then There Were None. Our Christmas show, Christmas on the Yukon, is an original play written by Anchorage playwright Shane Mitchell. and we have three more outstanding and funny shows in the spring. We hope you will join our community.
