OUR HISTORY

 In 2015, Michael Kennedy decided to put her years of experience as both a theater artist and a human services professional into creating something new. In collaboration with 18 local individuals recovering from substance use disorder, Michael created the script for "Any Addict" — and when its performances raised enough to put toward a second project, Creative Action Unlimited was born.

Now in its twelfth year, Creative Action Unlimited has produced over 23 original stage and film productions, addressing a wide spectrum of social issues including racism, classism, sex trafficking, suicide, totalitarianism, motherhood, and re-entry after incarceration. Each film remains available for licensing by community organizations and educational institutions that are seeking new ways to open up dialogue and begin to address some of the biggest challenges facing society today.

Creative Action Unlimited became a 501(c)(3) in 2020. The organization works with numerous artists and performers from the surrounding community, and has paid a total of over $85,000 to local artists for their work. Its continued growth is reflected in additional offerings that now include the Social Justice Artists Collective, the New Play Development Incubator, and Perspectives: A Creative Action Unlimited Podcast.
