We present a summary of current and future work to investigate the nature of AGN using the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE). The spectral coverage of STACEE includes the 50 to 250 GeV energy range which is inaccessible by current space and ground-based experiments, and is largely unexplored. This is an important energy range where the spectra of most blazars are expected to cut off, either intrinsically, or owing to interactions of γ-rays from blazars with photons of the extragalactic infrared to UV background. STACEE is very well-suited for the study of several northern hemisphere AGN and is likely to measure spectral cutoffs in this energy range. We describe the current status of STACEE and our plans for continued observation of AGN using STACEE in the future.
