Save the Date for A.C.T. of CT's Annual Gala - Friday, June 5, 2026!
On Friday, June 5, 2026, A.C.T. of CT will hold its highly anticipated ANNUAL GALA! Gala guests will be among the very first to find out which productions will be included in the theatre's 2026/2027 season starting in the fall!
This year, we are proud to honor Rebecca Baglio with A.C.T. of CT's Visionary Award and to celebrate the life and legacy of Tom Nissley as a posthumous recipient of this year's honor. Rebecca is a dedicated advocate for the arts and a respected leader in the Ridgefield community. Through her longtime support of A.C.T. of CT, her service on its Board of Directors, and her leadership across numerous local nonprofit and arts initiatives, she has demonstrated a deep and enduring commitment to the town's cultural life. Tom was a passionate champion of Connecticut's artistic and historic legacy. Through his work as a preservationist, writer, critic, and community leader, he helped elevate and safeguard the state's cultural landscape. His insight, advocacy, and generosity of spirit left an indelible mark on Connecticut's arts community. Together, Rebecca and Tom exemplify the vision, generosity, and civic engagement at the heart of A.C.T. of CT's mission.
Gala guests will enjoy a festive cocktail reception, a fabulous silent & live auction, and an incredible live show featuring performances from past (and upcoming!!) A.C.T. of CT productions, followed by the BIG reveal: the announcement of next season's line-up of shows! You never know what Broadway stars may grace A.C.T.'s stage! Gala guests will also be given the first opportunity to purchase season subscriptions for the 2026/2027 productions - ensuring access to the best seats in the house!
