Tuesday evening, ACT hosted their Annual Awards Night for the 2016-17 season. Tim Goldammer, ACT Board President, MC’d the event. A BIG thank you to everyone who attented and to everyone involved in making last season a success. Mitchell has some great talent and the 2017-18 line-up promises to deliver another wonderful variety of productions.

In addition to our normal season, we have some other great acts scheduled for you. Elvis will be performing in August, and we’ve just booked another great performance for the fall. Drum roll please…..Tonic Sol-Fa!!!  Their performance date is set for September 9, 2017. Look for details in the upcoming months.

If you’ve ever considered becoming involved in theatre, we encourage you to contact us. There are so many different ways to help. If the spotlight isn’t your thing, we welcome anyone wanting to help behind the scenes: stage/set design, make-up/costumes, directors, stage managers, board members, lobby volunteers.

We are so fortunate to have a live theatre venue in our community and appreciate the support of our members and patrons who make this possible. There’s still time to pick up your 2017-18 Memberships. Make your purchases online, stop by the box office or give us a call!!
