Our Partnership with the City of Alpharetta 

ACT1 Theater and the City of Alpharetta formed a partnership in 2017. ACT1 produced plays and vignettes of William Shakespeare outdoors in Wills Park and Brook St. Park, a series of songs and scenes for the City’s inaugural Summer Concert Series in Brook Street Park, and plays in the Alpharetta Arts Center intimate Black Box Theater.

Arcadia is grateful to continue this partnership during Arcadia’s 2025-2026 season. Through this continuing partnership, we are offering these shows.

When he arrives, he finds people sweeping dust from the stoops back into their houses and people milking upside down to get more cream. The town has been cursed with Chronic Stupidity for two hundred years, and Leon’s job is to break the curse.
