A.C.T. launched its Student Matinee (SMAT) program in 1968. Since then, more than half a million students have seen A.C.T. productions. 

A.C.T. won the 1979 Regional Theatre Tony Award for theatrical achievement and excellence in repertory performance and actor training. Look for it in a case on the house left stairs leading up to the balcony. 

Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize–winning Angels in America, which played in 1994–95, was the longest-running and most successful production in A.C.T. history. 

Molière's comedy Tartuffe was the first show performed on the A.C.T. mainstage in 1967. 

The lower-level lobby of the American Conservatory Theater, Fred's Columbia Room, is named for Fred Geick, A.C.T.'s late, beloved doorman, who greeted patrons for more than 30 years with a cheerful "Hello, governor" or "Good evening, madame." 

The chandelier inside the theater is the original fixture from 1910. It contains 400 forty-watt bulbs, each of which must be replaced by hand. 

A.C.T.'s annual production of A Christmas Carol features a multigenerational cast, including almost two dozen Young Conservatory students and the entire third-year class of the Master of Fine Arts Program. 

Prominent alumni of the A.C.T. Young Conservatory include Milo Ventimiglia, Wynona Ryder, Nicolas Cage, and Darren Criss, who currently has a recurring role on the hit television series Glee. 

OUT with A.C.T., celebrating its tenth anniversary this season, was the first dedicated LGBT night at a Bay Area arts organization. 

A.C.T.'s popular Audience Exchange series began in 1994 when David Mamet's Oleanna sparked animated audience discussions after the show.
