All About AAT
All About Theatre's mission is to strengthen Santa Cruz County's creative spirit and distinct sense of place by empowering young people and sustaining a vibrant community of artists and audiences.
What We Value
Safety & Belonging
We create welcoming spaces where people feel free to create, collaborate, and fully be ourselves.
Growth & Empathy
We practice emotional intelligence and inclusion in everything we do.
Community Impact
We make the arts accessible and relevant to the full Santa Cruz community.
Respect & Accountability
We keep our commitments and communicate with honesty and care.
Artistry & Inspiration
We honor the craft of live theatre while sparking curiosity and creative expression.
Creative Community
We believe the arts are one of Santa Cruz's greatest assets and are undervalued. We work to elevate the arts and make their power visible by connecting artists, audiences, and community partners in ways that strengthen the whole ecosystem. If you're a creative looking to build something in Santa Cruz, we want to hear from you to help make it happen.
Colligan Theater
As steward of the Colligan Theater, we keep Santa Cruz’s newest professional venue running for the benefit of the whole community. We provide facility rentals, as well as offering production and marketing support, and fiscal sponsorships. Our vision is to build shared infrastructure for artists and theater groups who need a professional home.
Performing Arts Academy
Our youth and family program gives kids a safe, inspiring space to grow through the art of musical theater. Students develop real skills -- not just on stage, but in how they see themselves and relate to the world around them. Every production is a community event, and every kid who walks through our doors matters.
