ACT Person
of the Moment
ACT would like to recognize Maria Rodriguez. A strong and heartwarming staple to the ACT Family for many years. Her debut here was "Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum" and since she has won over hearts with her Musical talents in Directing. We couldn't be luckier to have her apart of our community. We thank her for all her support and love she expresses for the Arts.

Southern Fried Funeral
April 5th - 14th, 2024
Plot Description:
Dewey Frye is dead and the rest of his family is left to pick up the pieces -- that is if they don't kill each other first. Not only does matriarch Dorothy have to contend with sudden widowhood, but she's also faced with church-committee harpy Ozella Meeks sticking her nose in the family business, Dewey's snake-in-the-grass brother making a grab for her house, and two grown daughters reliving their childhood rivalry. Funerals bring out the worst, the best, and the funniest in people, and the Fryes are no exception. A big-hearted comedy about family -- Southern-style.

When a clean-cut kid from a stand-up American family falls prey to marijuana, his descent into the pit is filled with jazz, sex and violence. This pointed political satire will go straight to your head!
