ACT San Diego (Associated Community Theatres of San Diego County) is a 501 (c)(3) organization run by volunteers dedicated to creating a community for our community. We provide a space for local, nonprofit, community theaters to come together and communicate, collaborate, and celebrate. 2026 will be the 60th Season for ACT San Diego. We host monthly or bimonthly meetings of our ACT board, member t
heatres, and individuals to share information, help grow ACT as a resource, and plan events like scholarship fundraisers and our annual Aubrey Awards. Who are our Member Theatres? Our current member theatres are: Lamplighters Community Theatre, Patio Playhouse Community & Youth Theater, Point Loma Playhouse, PowPAC Theatre, Trinity Theatre Company, and Vanguard at Westminster Theatre
What is your Scholarship Program? The ACT San Diego Scholarship Program was established in 1975 to promote and encourage higher education in the field of theatre arts. The Scholarship is awarded yearly to high school seniors and college students majoring in any of the theatre arts. What Are the Aubrey Awards ? The Aubrey Awards Celebration is an annual event to celebrate those creators and performers and staff whom our ACTSDC Judges (interested in being a judge, message us!) have selected for their particularly outstanding work. Those who are identified by the Judges in each category become Aubrey Nominees. They are announced at a Nominees Party, usually held around July. In August, the Aubrey Awards Celebration gala is held to present an Aubrey trophy to the persons that received the most accolades from the Judges in their category. Please message us if you would like information on how to become a full member theatre, an associate theatre member, an individual member, or a committee participant.
