In Acrosstown Repertory Theatre’s final performance of “Hamlet,” the titular character asks a dire question: “To be or not to be?”

As the company is priced out of their current building, the ART’s staff and actors face the same question.

Located at 619 S. Main St., the ART began holding performances at the Baird Center — an enclave tucked in the space behind Heartwood Soundstage — in 1985, which is where it has remained for decades. After 37 years in its current location, the theater is temporarily shutting down and leaving behind a legacy of talented performances.
