Actors Point Theatre Company has been delighting audiences in Sumner County since 2011.

We are committed to providing exceptional theatrical productions while investing in the

next generation of performers. Our mantra has become Discover. Develop. Deploy

We believe great theatre stimulates our community both economically and culturally. And, we believe that engaging in theatre as a youth creates connection, poise and a confidence that only comes by finding success through struggle.

Why are we investing in local theatre? We’re doing it for…

…for the elderly widower who attended a performance of “The Marvelous

Wonderettes” and in tears, shared with one of the actresses how much he loved

hearing the nostalgic ‘50s tune she performed that night… “That was “our” song”,

he said.

… for the mom who forced her quiet, shy, and somewhat lonely middle schooler into

our summer camp. A week later mom sneaks into the back of the rehearsal room to

see her daughter sing a solo to the applause and delight of her newly found theatre

buddies. Tears of joy all around.

… for the businessmen and women, civic and community leaders who understand that professional theatre brings audiences from all around (40% from outside Sumner County) creating tangible benefits and strong economic impact.

Actors Point Theatre Company (APTC) has just completed its 14th season of producing and performing top notch theatrical productions. These works have been produced and performed by national, regional and local professional actors, musicians and techs.

We have been named the professional Theatre Company in Residence at Vol State Community College

APTC has had over 500 theatre artists participate in our mainstage productions and

impacted the lives of over 2000 students through its original Sumner Plays Student Theatre

Challenge, 14 years of Summer Musical Theatre Camping Experiences and through intensive

workshops, classes and seminars.

APTC is deeply involved in Sumner County and the surrounding area by providing

programming, classes, workshops and fundraising support to such entities as Sumner

County schools, A Soldier’s Child, The Salvus Center, The Sumner Teen Center,

Hendersonville & Gallatin Chambers of Commerce, Hendersonville Rotary Club and MANY other youth and charitable organizations.

Believe it or not, all of this has been achieved without a single full time staff member!

Won’t you consider helping us grow our impact and effectiveness by becoming a sponsor?

“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms – the most immediate way in which a human being can share with one another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” – Oscar Wilde
