About AACT's Resource Library

Our Resource Library provides members with articles on a wide spectrum of topics of importance to community theatres and those who work in them.
Most articles are in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format, while most forms and templates are available in MS Word format, so you can customize them to meet your needs. (Some templates are offered in MS Excel format, as well.)
