 For more than 50
years, the Asheville Community Theatre
(ACT) has presented productions that have
ranged from classics to contemporary comedies. The theater’s Heston Auditorium
(named after Charlton Heston and his wife, actress Lydia Clark, who served as
artistic co-directors in 1947) is designed to provide an intimate theatre
setting; the back row is only 55 feet from the stage edge. Air-conditioned and
equipped with a Bose sound enhancement system, ACT is also home to youth acting
classes, special student matinees and the Autumn Players outreach program,
produced by, for and about senior citizens.
