Welcome To ACT
OUR STORY
ACT was created in 1995 by a group of dedicated, theatre-loving individuals on Prince Edward Island. Since then it has presented top-quality productions, including blockbuster musicals (Jesus Christ Superstar, HMS Pinafore, The Rocky Horror Show, Sweeney Todd); strong dramas (The Crucible, Julius Caesar, Waiting for Godot, Macbeth); classics (The Mousetrap, The School for Scandal); delightful comedies (Noises Off, Lend Me a Tenor, Midsummer Night's Dream); and much more. In 2020, ACT celebrated its 25th anniversary. To read more about the history of ACT and it's beginnings : 'What's in a name?'

COMING IN MAY 2022
Written by Michael Frayn, this show presents the madcap misadventures of a touring troupe of actors, their bitingly sarcastic director, and their overworked crew as they attempt to rehearse and perform a flop of a farce entitled Nothing On. ACT’s production of this ‘farce to end all farces’ will (fingers crossed) appear on stage in May 2022. Tickets are will available eventually at www.ticketpro.ca and at the Florence Simmons box office.
