OUR VISION: To mobilize the power of the arts to promote social justice activism within our community.

 #ChangetheCulture through the Arts.

Our Mantra: We Stand With Hartford Youth… Where Do You Stand?

ActUp Theater, Inc is a performing arts community theater company that explores social justice issues pulled from today’s culture and current events. Through traditional and original works, we infuse social justice themes that give voice to challenges in our community with a relevant perspective.

“My experience with ActUp Theater was amazing. The end product was beautiful and every single person worked so hard, especially the three women who put their hard work and time into this piece of art and entertainment.”
— Brenda Maldonado
