Both theatres offer a range of productions from classic plays to contemporary works.

ASF’s history includes the Octagon’s debut with The Glass Menagerie in 1985 and a long tradition of presenting acclaimed work, from magical seasonal shows like Cinderella and A Christmas Carol to modern dramas such as The Lehman Trilogy, staged at the Octagon in recent seasons.
