In this love letter to the theatre, Gurney uses the stage to explore, quite comically, our place in the world today. Set in the living room of a contemporary, upper-class, Buffalo, New York couple, the author sharpens his wit on such topics as cola wars, politics, and even the very audiences who attend plays. "…some damn clever writing…Constructed to illuminate the nature of the dramatic form while raising questions about the current state of the theatre in America…the evening is debonair, thought-provoking, and funny." —The New Yorker.

 

"…cleverly experimental…Mr. Gurney is a very sophisticated writer, and the variety of parallels he draws here, between art and politics, between characters and audience members, between the theater and the world, are dizzying and diverting…for those of us in distress over the political and cultural climate, [THE FOURTH WALL] is a bolstering, welcome and maybe even necessary expression of patriotism." —New York Times.

The ACT Volunteer Program is the heart and soul of ACT. There are many opportunities to volunteer both onstage, backstage, and in the lobby. ACT is a volunteer-powered organization whose mission is building community through theatre. When you volunteer at ACT, we hope that you will quickly feel part of the ACT "family." [More...]

 

The ACT Education and Outreach Program brings the opportunity to participate in theatre to those of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Through our alliances with community organizations, we offer classes and performance possibilities. We also offer theatre mentorships and workshops. [More...]
