acta is committed to offering young people the opportunity to gain a youth arts award through their participation in an acta project. Our new part-time Project Support Worker will support this area of our work as part of the Go North project in North Bristol.
This project also offers apprenticeships and peer mentioring opportunities. Contact acta for more details.
acta community theatre has been working in and around Bristol since 1985; we celebrated our 21st birthday this year, and held a party at the acta centre on Friday 29th September. The celebration was attended by current and past participants, acta workers, audience members and friends. Thankyou to everyone who made it such a wonderful evening. Shirley Brown, journalist and theatre critic, writes: “It was, as always, inspiring to share your joyous creative & community spirits – you have done so much for Bristol that you really ought to be on the postcards!”
