American Coast Theater Company is a brand new, professional, non-profit theatre company in Orange County.
Mission
As members of American Coast Theater Company in collaboration with Vanguard University, we are committed to producing professional theatre with artistic excellence and high production value.
We are also committed to producing works that may inspire hope or self-reflection through the eyes of the characters that struggle with their own humanity. We believe in stories that offer the possibility of enlightenment which can be life changing. Our goal is to produce works from the American and international dramatic canon. We will also nurture the development of new American playwrights.
We are deeply rooted in the artistic traditions of theater, and believe in the examination of the human condition as well as the potential for personal and social redemption revealed through thought provoking story telling.
Values
- We will create an environment that fosters innovative ideas and fresh approaches to both new and existing works.
- Because of our association with Vanguard University and our own personal, evangelical convictions, we will remain sensitive to the needs of our community regarding entertainment for families and faith based groups.
- We will promote artistic integrity in our desire to reveal truth, yet we will stay true to the mission of Vanguard University.
- We will collaborate with professional guest artists in all the disciplines of theatre. We will enrich the community with a commitment to educational outreach in collaboration with Vanguard University.
- As a company of authentic Christians, we will strive to serve Vanguard and our community with excellence and spiritual vitality that fosters a passion for truth, virtue and service.
Searchlight Productions is the “new works” branch of ACTC where original plays and/or musicals will be tested by workshop and stage readings.
