American Conservatory Theater

Breakthrough shows launch at this turn-of-the-century landmark, which has hosted ACT's productions of Tony Kushner's Angels in America and other Tony-winning works by major playwrights, including Tom Stoppard, Dustin Lance Black, Eve Ensler and Robert Wilson. ACT’s Strand Theater on Market St stages experimental works like Kristina Wong's Pulitzer Prize–nominated Sweatshop Overlord, and hosts talks with the directors.
