Acacia Theatre Company

Acacia Theatre Company

Acacia Theatre Company is a Wisconsin-based interdenominational group of dramatic artists who share a desire to integrate art and faith by presenting theatre from a Christian world-view. Acacia is a Christian theater ministry that is not affiliated with any specific denomination or church. Acacia is an independent, non-profit, professional theater company.

Acacia was founded in 1980 by several local theatre artists who shared a common desire to produce plays that would express the experiences and positive moral values important to us as members of the Christian faith. The name Acacia was chosen because the ACACIA TREE, as mentioned in Isaiah, is a symbol of stability and resilience, for its deep roots which help it survive and its wood, which was used to build the Ark of the Covenant. Beginning as a touring company, shows were taken to schools and churches all over Milwaukee. The touring aspect of the theatre continues to this day.

Acacia produces a season of four plays at a resident theatre, performs a special Christmas production each year & tours a repertoire of plays to various churches and community organizations.

Performances are at Concordia University's Todd Wehr Auditorium in Mequon, Wisconsin.
