ActNow Theatre is a theatre company based in Adelaide, South Australia. Founded in 2007, it is a community-based company whose work focuses on social justice issues and techniques. From 2007 until 2020, the artistic director/CEO was Edwin Kemp Attrill. In 2021 he was succeeded by Yasmin Gurreeboo.

Notable projects include working with Very Theatre in Taiwan over three years to develop a work called Virtual Intimacy. Another notable project was undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia in 2020, called Decameron 2.0. This comprised a series of monologues delivered online, written and performed in conjunction with the State Theatre Company of South Australia. In South Australia, ActNow's projects focus on communities of LGBTIQ+, Indigenous Australians, and culturally and linguistically diverse communities, including a number of programs in schools or for young people.
