Eva Noblezada & Reeve Carney and More Set for A.C.T. ACTivate Series

American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) will launch ACTivate, a dynamic new programming initiative that expands the organization's artistic footprint beyond its mainstage season.

Designed to complement A.C.T.'s mainstage season, the ACTivate series will present an eclectic mix of theater, comedy, cabaret, music, film screenings, conversations, immersive experiences, and special events throughout the year. The series will showcase acclaimed local artists and companies alongside nationally and internationally recognized performers, offering audiences fresh opportunities to experience work that is daring, unexpected, and distinctly of the moment.

The inaugural ACTivate lineup reflects the breadth and adventurous spirit of the new series. Additional programming for the inaugural ACTivate Series will be announced throughout the 2026/27 season.

Every Saturday Night

October 10–November 1, 2026
Strand Theater
Commissioned and presented by San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Company (SFBATCO)
Be transported to San Francisco's Fillmore District—beginning in the present day, where the echoes of a once-thriving Black neighborhood still shape the streets. From there, Every Saturday Night pulls audiences back into the 1950s, the vibrant “Harlem of the West,” when the Fillmore pulsed with jazz, community, and possibility.
