Acacia was founded in 1980 by several local theatre artists who shared a common desire to produce plays that would express the experiences and positive moral values important to members of the Christian faith. The name Acacia was chosen because the
Acacia produces a season of four plays at a resident theatre, performs a special Christmas production each year and tours a repertoire of plays to various churches and community organizations.[3]
Performances are at Concordia University's Todd Wehr Auditorium in Mequon, Wisconsin.[3]
Many works in Acacia's diverse repertoire are secular, "chosen for their ability to spark discussion of Judeo-Christian values and provoke thought about the ramifications an individual’s actions can have on those around them and society as a whole."[1] Such works have included Thorton Wilder's Our Town, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers, Larry Shue's The Foreigner, Robert Harling's Steel Magnolias, and Alfred Uhry's Driving Miss Daisy.[3][1] Acacia has also produced original works, such as Amanda Petefish-Schrag’s The Endurance of Light, Patty McCarty’s This Other Love, and Jayme McGhan’s Autonomy.[1]
