latest happenings...
Canceling Christmas is a heartwarming romantic comedy set in a charming small town during the festive holiday season. The story follows Emily Harper, a dedicated nurse who unexpectedly inherits the local theatre. Eager to bring the community together with a Christmas play, Emily’s plans are thwarted when Elliot Ryan, the town’s meticulous public health officer, orders the theatre to be shut down due to a severe mold infestation in the basement. The cost to clean up the mold is a staggering $15,000, a sum that neither Emily nor the theatre can afford. FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS....CLICK HERE!

Avenue for Creativity....
To me ACT is a group of individuals who volunteer to provide entertainment for our local community. ACT provides an opportunity for people of all ages to make new friends and become a part of productions that family, friends and others get to enjoy. ACT provides an avenue for creativity and will not turn anyone away. Even if you want to be involved but do not want to be on stage there are many other ways to help out.
