The Revolutionists at AthensWest Theatre Company

AthensWest is the first theatre in Lexington history to offer Equity points - which allow an actor to accumulate enough credits to join Actors’ Equity Association, the union for actors and stage managers. Our contract with Equity currently allows us to employ two union actors per production, working alongside local, non-union professionals. This important stepping stone for many young and emerging artists also serves as a tool to hire the best possible available talent. AthensWest takes its name from Lexington's eighteenth-century nickname: "the Athens of the West," so called because of its impressive culture, education, and arts. AthensWest hopes to celebrate the best of Central Kentucky tradition while pointing the way forward with new ideas and innovation.

AthensWest Theatre Company is at 141 E Main St, Lexington, KY 40508, Lexington, KY.
