Americans Come to Soliloquise (ACTS) is an initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Founded by Dramashop, MIT's co-curricular theatre group, ACTS aims to build trans-Atlantic bridges.

We presented two productions in the UK in June 2006. They were directed by Adam Miller and Kenneth Roraback, who both graduated in 2006 with dual degrees in physics and theatre. Miller led a satirical piece, FELUTOPIA, dissecting racial tensions in the United States. His work was developed through improvisation, in collaboration with Helen McCreery, Daniel Chonde, and Adam Love. Meanwhile, Roraback directed ELECTRONIC CITY, a play by Falk Richter and translated by Marlene Norst. Electronic City scrutinises the absorption of technology by society.

We conceived ACTS as an opportunity for cultural exchange as well as an investment for the artistic future of Boston-area college drama.
