October  8, 2007: 

 

Here is a farce mystery that was greeted with unanimous rave notices when premiered in Summer Stock. 

 

 "Hilarious, delicious, uproarious, hysterical - pick your own adjective...first night audience howled, guffawed, roared and applauded," -  Bennington (Vt.) Banner.

 

"Never have tears of laughter flowed so freely....even conservative New Englanders howled" - Rutland (Vt.) Herald

 

The story tells of a woman mystery writer who rents a New England house which was supposed to be the rendezvous point for some stolen jewels.  The focal point of the set is the closet which opens into a living room and into a library.  In the closet is found a body which promptly disappears only to be succeeded by a second body.  

The hunt for the jewels reaches a climax at Two a.m. when four couples, all unknown to each other, turn up to search.

 

Not since the days of Mack Sennett (an innovator of slapstick comedy) has there been an hilarious series of entrances and exits.  

 

>From the opening laugh to the final line, this is Guaranteed to make even the most staid audience cry with laughter.

Currently, ACT presents four shows per year, Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Typically, the summer offering is a more youth-oriented production and offers opportunity for a truly intergenerational show. A Children's Theatre Workshop is also offered during the late summer with a hands-on instructional emphasis.

ACT is a non-profit organization and carries a minimum bank balance to cover unexpected expenses. Only a few positions receive a modest stipend, a token payment amount when compared to the amount of skill and hours that is donated to the theatre. To aid these paid individuals, we have a large group of devoted and committed people who dutifully work without any compensation.
