DONATE

Announcing our 3rd full production

Creating meaningful theatre takes more than ticket sales:

it takes a community that believes in the value of the arts and financially supports that belief.

The Actors’ Reading Collective (ARC) welcomes you to our 2026|2027 season!

If you are just joining us, ARC is an actor-led theater company of seasoned professionals and Bay Area favorites that emerged from online readings during the pandemic.

If you've been to our shows or donated before,

thank you for coming back.

It is our honor to have offered four summers of our Outside the Box reading series featuring Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning plays and playwrights, as well as two full productions, The Antipodes and Mary Jane.

Our current season,

including readings of works by Samuel D. Hunter,

Lucy Kirkwood, and Jen Silverman,

and a full production of Deep Blue Sound

directed by Jonathan Moscone,

promises to live up to our past excellence.

ARC is proud to continue to bring people together through the power of live theatre, and we are grateful for your help. No contribution is too small or too large.

Your generous tax-deductible donation will directly pay the actors, designers, director, and playwright.

Thank you so much for donating what you can today!
