ACT II

The Academy of Community Theatre (ACT II)

"To serve the young actor, the local schools, and the community with wholesome, educational, and high-quality theatre."

The Academy of Community Theatre (ACT II) is a non-profit theatre that brings literature to life through the magic of theatre with wholesome, educational, high-quality productions for the local schools and the community while providing the young actor with a safe environment where they can grow in their character and talent.

ACT II: Bringing Literature to Life

All of our plays are based upon literature so that the school children can read the book and learn from it at school, then attend our show and watch the book come alive on stage. Schoolchildren and families attending our shows laugh and cheer as they are immersed in the story.

We are thrilled to confirm that our highly anticipated spring production of Mary Poppins Jr. will take place in April 2025 at the Ent Center for the Arts. Bigger and better than ever, we are building on our legacy of exceptional theatre by taking this production to new heights. With enhanced sets, special flying effects, and a talented cast of local performers, Mary Poppins Jr. will be our most spectacular show yet! 

Our focus on Mary Poppins Jr. allows us to dedicate our energy and resources to delivering a truly spectacular show. The complexity and scale of this beloved musical requires extensive preparation, so we have lengthened our rehearsal period with auditions scheduled for SEPTEMBER! This additional time will ensure the highest level of production quality and provide valuable training opportunities for our cast members.
