The Actors Company Theatre (Scott Alan Evans, Cynthia Harris and Simon Jones, Co-Artistic Directors) is dedicated to presenting neglected or rarely produced plays of literary merit, with a focus on creating theatre from its essence: the text and the actor's ability to bring it to life. TACT's company of actors was drawn together in 1992 by a love of the literature of the theatre. Over the past fourteen seasons and more than 80 productions, it has grown to become a true repertory ensemble: a group that has developed a common vocabulary and a technique based on our artistic vision and collective body of work. TACT artists are veterans of the stage, film and television whose cumulative experience includes significant roles in scores of Broadway shows, hundreds of Off-Broadway plays, over a thousand regional theatre productions, and many films and television shows. They have received Emmy Awards, Obie Awards, Outer Critics Circle Awards, Drama Desk Awards, and Tony nominations. These professionals are committed to TACT because of the artistic opportunities it offers: creative challenges, professional growth, and the chance to work on great plays that deserve to be seen more often in New York City.
TACT's next production will be 'Incident at Vichy' by Arthur Miller, directed by Scott Alan Evans. It will run February 22 - March 28, 2009 at The Beckett Theatre, Theatre Row. 1942. A detention room in Vichy, France holds ten men who've been picked up for questioning. Why are they there? What have they done? Titanic playwright Arthur Miller, expertly weaves the fears, uncertainty and self-denial of a disparate group awaiting an unspeakable fate, into a masterwork of hope and survival.
