    Not Your Average Community Theater!

    We have attended several of ACT's productions on the main stage and at 35 Below in the last 3 years. All have been EXCELLENT! The recent remodel has made the main stage super comfortable and accessible to all!

    9 to 5!

    So much fun! This is good, local theater at its best. I am so looking forward to seeing many more productions in the future. The sound quality was good, simple and fast snack bar for intermission, and not a bad seat in the house. Enjoy!

    9 to 5 theatre performance

    wow! Saw the 9 to 5 production at the Asheville Community Theatre this past weekend. It was close to broadway. Outstanding performance, very large cast and perfect cast roles! The volunteer star were friendly, knowledgable and nice bathrooms. Highly recommend popping in for a production!

    What a Way to Make a Living! 9-5

    Who knew this classic from the late 70s would be SO relevant and empowering for today's audiences? The women who play Violet, DoraLee, and Judy were great. The director, Jerry, is obviously gifted. And Luke was more convincing than Dabney Coleman as the sexist, egotistical,...More
