Action Theatre Conservatory, also known as ATC Studios, has been based in Clifton, New Jersey, since 1990. In their 30+ years of operation, they have emerged as the definitive leader in NJ acting schools, training adults, teens and children. ATC offers all levels of acting, TV & Film training, improvisation, voice acting, stage combat, and performance opportunities. They also provide classes for directing, filmmaking and playwriting.  

In 2020, ATC Studios teamed up with the Paterson Museum and the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park to present, Shakespeare at the Great Falls/Shakespeare at the Museum. This program was a continuation of a program ATC Studios had been offering annually at Lambert Castle in Paterson since 2013. Now known as Shakespeare on Site, this collaboration between ATC Studios and Paterson’s history organizations has now been offering free Shakespeare to Paterson residents for ten years. 

The Paterson Museum is very proud of this collaborative partnership, which provides a level of programming that the Museum would otherwise not be able to share with the community. Performances take place in the Fall, usually at the end of September and are offered both indoors and outdoors. Be sure to check the Museum’s calendar for information about the next performances.
