I have been involved with this group since its inception as a performer, director, camp instructor, costumer, set builder, and many other roles. There is a place for everyone and opportunities to learn new skills. Would recommend 100%. ACT is a great organization for all ages.

If you enjoy or have always wanted to work on a show, This is a great place to volunteer. You'll be able to participate in any area you would want; behind the sceens, on stage, set designs, lighting, sounds or even advertising for the shows. There are plenty of opportunities waiting for you to persue your interest.

They truly are a family. A family that anyone can walk into and fit in almost instantly. Anyone and everyone can play a role in this family, no matter what your skill/trade is. It may seem at first that all this group does it joke around and have fun. Don't be fooled...they take their work seriously. It is inspiring to see every member of the group living their passion and cultivating their talents. Everyone of their shows is well worth seeing and even more worthy of getting involved in.
