Theatre company
Taking a prominent role in the school since the construction and completion of a new Performing Arts Center in early 2010, ACMA's theatre company has been widely acclaimed as one of the best in the school district. Headed by teacher and director Shaun Hennessy, previously headed by actor/director Joel Morello, the company has produced plays and musicals such as Bullshot Crummond, The Apple Tree, Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, Spoon River Anthology, The Good Doctor, Dancing at Lughnasa, Alice in Wonderland, A Greater Tuna, Celebration, The Fantasticks, Little Shop of Horrors, an acclaimed production of Godspell, which was sponsored by The Oregonian, and original verbatim stage adaptations of The Great Gatsby and Great Expectations. Godspell was the first production that was involved with ACMA's Theatre Giving Program. Plays are not always necessarily produced by the department head; different theatrical artists in the community are given opportunities to direct and cast the show as they please. In addition, the company produces an annual One Act Festival featuring student written and directed work starring middle school students with little to no experience in the program thus far, as an introduction to how the shows work. For the 2013-2014 season, guest directors directed Our Town in the fall and Oliver! in the spring. In winter 2014, an original staged production of Coraline written, directed and produced by ACMA students graced the mainstage. Besides other student written works, such as the ACMA Zone and ACMA Live the spring 2015 production was Pride and Prejudice, directed by David Sikking. The 2018 season will include The Laramie Project, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet,, and Trouble in Paradise Junction.

ACMA jazz bands perform and compete annually in music festivals across the Pacific Northwest.
Dance West company
ACMA students comprise Dance West, a pre-professional dance program. Company repertoire includes pieces based on classical ballet, jazz, historical modern, innovative hip-hop, Broadway, concert tap, and pieces that range across all genres, taught by master teachers and guest artists.
