2026-2027 ACT Program: We Are Monsters!

We Are Monsters is a hilarious musical that follows human kids into a monster cabaret filled with quirky monster characters. The adventurous humans uncover vegetarian vampires and rock n’ roll werewolves, gradually realizing there may be more to these monsters than meets the eye! Most importantly these monsters and kids discover the importance of friendship and celebrating in the attributes that make each of us different and unique.

Everyone gets a role. Everyone gets a line.
Everybody is onstage all the time.

2020 ACT! Program: Ashland’s Cast of The Grunch

What is ACT?

Ashland Collaborative Theatre (ACT!) is an exciting artist-in-residence program for schools of all sizes. This innovative program allows schools to offer their students a one of a kind theatre arts program for low or no cost to the school. Ashland artistic staff work with students each week at the school learning the songs, dances and lines for a full youth production. Learning the show is only part of the fun. Students will also learn performance fundamentals and team work with interactive theatre improvisational games.

During the last week of the program, the students’ worlds open up as they take the rehearsal process to the Ashland Productions stage. Students top off the experience by showcasing their hard work with several performances for their school, family, friends and community with professional sets, costumes, lights and sound! Your students will come away with improved poise, self-discipline and self-esteem - skills that will help them at school and last for a lifetime!

If your school is interested in being a part of ACT! or you have any questions, please contact our Youth Programming Director, Jack Lambert, by email at jack@ashlandproductions.org.
