About ACT
Founded in 1987, All Children’s Theatre (ACT) is a non-profit theatre company dedicated to the education and enrichment of children ages 4-18. ACT provides a theatre arts environment that promotes the empowerment of youth. Headquartered in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, ACT enables children to use their imagination and creativity to explore all aspects of theatre production. All Children's Theatre was founded by Dr. Wrenn Goodrum, a New York actress and director who fell in love with Rhode Island and decided to settle here. Currently in its 21st year, ACT continues to provide theatre programs to ALL children and families in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
