Some of the events hosted in the ACT over the past few years have included July Talk, Kip Moore, Lights, Machine Gun Kelly, Letterkenny Live, Bryan Callen, and even Gordon Lightfoot.
The ACT has been used by the CBC for a live taping of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and has played host to Saint Petersburg State Academic Ballet Theatre’s performance of Swan Lake.
The ACT is proud to offer an assortment of events that complement the diversity and culture of Ottawa.
The ACT is available for rentals.
