🐦‍⬛🐈‍⬛THRILLING AND CHILLING🐈‍⬛🐦‍⬛

The stars have aligned, the veil between worlds has thinned, and these talented actors have prepared to embody some of the greatest gothic characters ever created. Poe himself, who might be at the show, couldn’t be prouder, or perhaps more disturbed. It will be a spectacle, that’s for sure.

Join us as the Raven, the Black Cat, and some of the Ushers taste the amontillado as ACTS PAC presents The Edgar Allan Poe Afterlife Radio Show. Our macabre mayhem runs October 30 & 31, November 1, 6, 7, & 8. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7:30, Sunday shows start at 2:30.

Reserve your seats by calling the box office at 724-815-4388 or visit our ticket page at https://ticketpeak.com/go/acts/events

⚰️☠️GONE TOO SOON☠️⚰️

We sadly present what remains of our cast for the Edgar Allan Poe Afterlife Radio Show. After a tragic several week of rehearsal, they have left their earthly bodies to inhabit those of Poe’s greatest character characters. We hope your memories of them are fond.

We hope that you will come create new memories with them in 40 Below as ACTS PAC cordially invite you to the spookiest show we have ever produced! You’ll be chilled by the Gothic tales they take off the page and into the realm of the living.

🪦⚰️DEARLY DEPARTED⚰️🪦

We are so very sorry to bring you the first half of our cast for the Edgar Allan Poe Afterlife Radio Show. They brought much sorrow and grief in the rehearsal process to all who were involved. We ask that during these difficult times, you consider how much they will be missed.

🔨🪓WHERE DO GHOULS SHOP?🪓🔨

***DISCLAIMER: WE'RE ATTEMPTING COMEDY, BADLY!***

When you're in need of just the right tool for the job, you might need assistance. How often do you brick someone up inside of a wall? How many times do you want to soundproof the floorboards where you might have hid something? And where would you find the right tools to keep a pesky raven from perching atop your statues? WAREHOUSE SALES OF COURSE!

In all seriousness, we are so happy that Mike Lisac and the great people at Warehouse Sales have helped make this production possible. If you want top quality service at a locally owned hardware store, this is where you want to shop.

And who knows, you might see something supernatural along the way. Even the Grim Reaper needs a new scythe occasionally...

The Edgar Allan Poe Afterlife Radio Show runs October 30 & 31, November 1, 6, 7, & 8 at the ACTS PAC 40 Below venue. Friday and Saturday shows at 7:30, Sunday shows at 2:30. Tickets available by calling the box office at 724-815-4388 or by visiting https://ticketpeak.com/go/acts/events

🎭🌟AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT🌟🎭

Do you have the itch to get on stage? Love making people laugh? Do we have the show for you! Auditions for Rick Abbott's "Play On!" will be held on November 17th and 19th at ACTS PAC from 7-9 pm. We are so happy that theater guru Paula Ferguson will be directing this show, her first venture at ACTS! "Play On!" will be presented March 12-14 and 19-21.

One plucky community theatre is about to produce a show called "Murder Most Foul", a new “murder mystery play” with the same title as an Agatha Christie novel but with no relation whatsoever. The director/theatre manager, Gerry, has no idea what disasters await her: the show is hilariously amateur, the “murder mystery” plot doesn’t really have a murder, and to top it off the playwright keeps changing the story and script only two days from its premiere! If this sounds like a show you can't wait to be a part of, COME AUDITION!

All those who wish to audition must be over 25. No prepared readings will be entertained. Attendees will read from the scripts. Anyone may read for any part. Auditioning for experience only is welcome. Auditions are open; that is, should an attendee need to bring their partner, children, visiting relatives from Nebraska, or dog, they may do so (though we ask that all dogs as well as actors be housebroken). No roles are precast. No experience is necessary. There is nothing in this show preventing anyone of any shape, size, or physical ability from performing in this show.

LIST OF CHARACTERS:

AGGIE MANVILLE—Stage Manager, 30+
GERRY DUNBAR—Director, 30+
HENRY BENISH—“LORD DUDLEY” longtime community theatre actor—50+
POLLY BENISH—“LADY MARGARET” longtime community theatre actor—50+
MARLA ‘SMITTY’ SMITH—“DORIS THE MAID” college student living at home—late 20s
SAUL WATSON—“DOCTOR REX FORBES” has long played a villain—30+
BILLY CAREWE—“STEPHEN SELLERS” leading young man—late 20s
VIOLET IMBRY—“DIANA LASSITER” ingenue—late 20s
LOUISE PEARY—Sound, light, and set technician, 30+
PHYLLIS MONTAGUE—Novice playwright, 50+

Pre-registration for auditioning is not required but encouraged. Follow the link here: https://forms.gle/QNuF9WvMkK4HPror7

We hope we see you on stage!

❄️🪶LORD HELP THE MISTER...🪶❄️
..who comes between me and my sister!

Our cast for Irving Berlin's White Christmas: The Musical is on a mission for perfection! There's no down time, whether it's memorizing lines and blocking or dancing like there's no tomorrow, they are going full speed.

They're so locked in, however, that they MAY have been a little aggressive with the dancing. It's not every day that you get to dance with a feathered fan, so maybe we have a little work to do.

We hope that when you come see Irving Berlin's White Christmas, you'll appreciate all the hours we're putting in for your enjoyment! Kick off your holiday season with us and make it one you'll never forget.

Irving Berlin's White Christmas: The Musical runs December 4-6 and 11-13. Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:30 and Sunday shows start at 2:30.

Tickets on sale now by calling the box office at 724-815-4388 or visiting our ticketing page at https://ticketpeak.com/go/acts/events

Make it a holiday to remember!
