ACROSSTOWN REPERTORY THEATRE WORKSHOP INC

Founded in 1980, the ART develops new talent, plays, audiences and ideas while also celebrating and revivifying the great plays of the past. The ART provides a safe place where people of all ages, genders, races, socio-economic backgrounds and beliefs can create unsafe theatre– thinking people’s theatre– theatre that transforms. We continually respect, and challenge: * ourselves as actors, designers, artists and visionaries to achieve more, * our audiences as living, thinking and feeling human beings to engage more, * other local theaters and arts organizations to collaborate more, …and by doing so, help nurture and develop Gainesville, Florida into the center of arts and culture in North Central Florida.
