The Artists Collaborative Theatre (ACT) brings Elkhorn City's local culture to life with theatrical productions like "The Kentucky Cycle" in 2002 to this season's "Blood Song: The Story of the Hatfields and the McCoys." 

This community theater is built on a mountain wealth of talent and money. Its black box theater was built with $400,000 from the coal severance tax. Local actors take on productions of well-loved musical hits like "Grease" and dramas like "Our Town." The local Bodacious Bobcat band performed in the ACT productions of "Always...Patsy Cline" and "The Honky Tonk Angels."

ACT's productions have won awards from the Kentucky Theatre Association and the Southeast Theatre Conference. This all-volunteer theater company does year-round programming, and offers summer programs for children.
