Live Professional Theatre on MDI
The Acadia Repertory Theatre is located in Somesville on Mount Desert Island, Maine, performing in the rustic Masonic Hall which is converted each summer into a 148 seat, intimate performance space.
ART has presented over 300 productions and employed over 750 performers, directors, designers, and technicians, building a a strong audience base of both local residents and summer visitors over decades of performances. Some of our subscribers and patrons have been with us since our very first season, partly because of the diverse selection of shows presented each season, ranging from Sophocles to Shakespeare to Shaw to Neil Simon. ART has always been dedicated to producing interesting stories about interesting people in its intimate performance space.
Acadia Repertory Theatre is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
