Acacia Theatre Company is an independent, non-profit, interdenominational Christian theatre company. It was founded in 1980 by several theatre artists who shared the common desire to integrate art and faith by presenting theatre that would express the experiences and positive values important to members of the Christian faith.

Isaiah 41:17-20
