On July 4th, devastating floods along the Guadalupe River tore through the Hill Country Arts Foundation (HCAF) in Ingram, Texas, leaving behind a trail of damage that will take months, if not years, to fully repair.

AACT is deeply saddened to learn of the devastating wildfire that has swept through parts of Los Angeles County, destroying Theatre Palisades and its home, the Pierson Playhouse. Our thoughts are with the Theatre Palisades community - their board, volunteers, performers, and audiences - along with all those affected by this disaster. Although we have not been able to make direct contact with their team yet, we do know that they need support.
