Our Story
At Actors Co-op, we are a community of artists passionate about staging stories that inspire, educate, and entertain. Founded in 1987, our company has grown from a small group of actors with a shared vision to a robust organization with over 50 members, spanning across different backgrounds and disciplines. Our journey began with a dozen actors who shared a dream of creating something new and innovative in the world of theater.

As a company of Christian actors, we are driven by our passion for the Lord Jesus Christ. Our mission is to pursue the highest standards of theatrical excellence while building up our members spiritually, personally, and professionally.
