About
Saturday Children's Theatre at Burgundy Farm
Alexandria Children's Theatre (ACTheatre) is a children's acting program founded by Roberta Cullen, an arts educator with 18+ years of teaching experience in Alexandria. The program runs out of Burgundy Farm Country Day School's Logan Loft, a dedicated theatre space that gives every class real stage time.

Experience
The Burgundy Farm location is a Day School campus that hosts the theatre as a tenant, so kids experience a real school theatre setting. The Saturday-morning-only studio schedule fits families who can't commit to weekday after-school programs but want serious acting instruction.
