Taking a prominent role in the school since the construction and completion of a new Performing Arts Center in early 2010, ACMA's theatre company has been widely acclaimed as one of the best in the school district. The company has produced plays and musicals such as
Bullshot Crummond,
The Apple Tree, ''
Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, Spoon River Anthology, The Good Doctor, Dancing at Lughnasa, Alice in Wonderland, A Greater Tuna, Celebration, The Fantasticks, Little Shop of Horrors, a production of Godspell, which was sponsored by The Oregonian, and original verbatim stage adaptations of The Great Gatsby and Great Expectations. Godspell'' was the first production that was involved with ACMA's Theatre Giving Program. The company produces an annual One Act Festival featuring student written and directed work starring middle school students with little to no experience in the program thus far, as an introduction to how the shows work. For the 2013-2014 season, guest directors directed
Our Town in the fall and
Oliver! in the spring. In winter 2014, an original staged production of
Coraline written, directed and produced by ACMA students graced the mainstage. Besides other student-written works, such as the ACMA Zone (one-acts based on
the Twilight Zone) and ACMA Live (based on
Saturday Night Live) the spring 2015 production was
Pride and Prejudice. The 2018 season included
The Laramie Project,
Much Ado About Nothing,
Hamlet,
Heathers, and
Trouble in Paradise Junction. ==Jazz orchestra==
