Actors' Circle Theatre is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1988. A group of 20 people wanted to bring quality theatre to the community and have a great time doing it. It is safe to say that their goal has been, and continues to be achieved. The group of active members has grown to over 75 with many alumni in the wings, and a handful of the founding members actively involved in the productions.

Actors' Circle Theatre productions draw on local talent from surrounding communities. Actors' Circle currently produces shows that utilize an adult cast but there are often roles for teens and children. Historically, we have produced musical such as My Fair Lady, The Wizard of Oz, Guys and Dolls, The Mikado, and The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. Along with straight play such as The Man Who Came to Dinner, Inspecting Carol, Jake's Women, Arsenic and Old Lace, and Once in a Lifetime. (Click on This Season for information on upcoming shows currently being produced).
 
We recently started our Shakespeare in the Park Productions that will run every summer. Past award winning productions have included The Taming of the Shrew and Merry Wives of Windsor. Go to This Season for more information!
 
Mission Statement:
Actors' Circle Theatre's continuing mission is to foster enjoyment and participation in the theatre arts throughout the Monadnock Region.
