Meet InterAct

Our Actors

Our team of 160 professional actors who represent the heartbeat of our work.

InterAct works with professional actors because they have the dramatic skills to hold the concentration of somebody who is not only unwell but also in the hospital environment, the vocal stamina and technique to sustain long periods of reading and the antennae to respond to unspoken reactions from the patients.
