THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!
We had a great time celebrating the New Works Northwest Festival (NW2) and honoring former Artistic Director John Langs. What a wonderful night spotlighting John’s legacy with ACT and the longstanding commitment to new works he installed in our mission.
John had a remarkable decade leading ACT Contemporary Theatre that has left an indelible impact on new works in the Pacific Northwest. He left us in a place of strength and growth that continues to be highlighted by your generous support. Thank you!
Still inspired to give? It’s not too late to make a gift!
