Actors Cabaret of Eugene

Downtown Eugene Community Theatre Since 1979

Actors Cabaret of Eugene (ACE) is a non-profit community theatre operating downtown since 1979, with year-round productions plus a commitment to education for theatre artists and technicians of all ages through workshops, classes, and mainstage casting.

Education Across Disciplines

Classes and workshops run alongside the mainstage season, with opportunities for kids to learn from working community-theatre artists. Programs include:
- Workshops for theatre artists
- Technician training
- Acting classes
- Mainstage production opportunities for older students
- Cabaret-format productions in the downtown venue

What's Included

• Downtown Eugene venue at 996 Willamette Street
• Cabaret-style intimate performance space
• Multi-decade community-theatre tradition (founded 1979)
• Education programming open to all ages
• Lane County's longest-running community theatre lineage

Experience

The cabaret format - dinner-theater style seating around the stage - changes how kids experience performance versus traditional proscenium spaces. The 45+ years of continuous operation means current students rehearse where multiple generations of Eugene performers have worked before them.
