The Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theatres (EMACT) is an organization founded in 1985, which supports member community theatre organizations through educational resources and recognition of excellence.

Mission
“To encourage and promote Community Theater in Eastern Massachusetts through educational programming, supportive services, and the recognition of excellence.”

DASH Awards
EMACT member organizations are afforded the opportunity to have any or all of their productions reviewed by members of an award nominating committee. The shows are evaluated on a number of elements and given scores based on standard criteria. The highest scoring productions in these various categories are presented with awards at a Distinguished Awards and Special Honors (DASH) Gala, which is held every September.
