All
a little spooky, some a little edgy, and each with its own creepy twist,
the evening includes “Lot
13: The Bone Violin”,
actors perform as if directed as a string quartet to tell of a young
violin prodigy’s shocking fate; “Wildwood
Park”
follows a neurotic real-estate agent as she shows a house filled with
unspeakable secrets to a potential buyer, “Language
of Angels”
tells of a teenage girl lost in a cave on the edge of a small town in
North Carolina, and “Beyond
the Door”
will keep you on the edge of your seat as a murderer, fleeing from the
police, wanders into an old house inhabited by two spinsters.
What really happened to the young boy and where did the Bone Violin
come from? Why does the
potential buyer harbor an almost insatiable thirst for tabloid atrocities?
What are the details of the girl’s disappearance?
And who is waiting just beyond that locked door?
The
answers will be revealed (or will they?) October 13, 15, 20, 21 & 22
at 7:30 pm and October 16 at 2:00 pm.

To
start 2006, we will once again celebrate past performances and future
endeavors with an evening of fun – the ACT Gala!
Mark your calendars for January 7 and plan to dress up, go and
celebrate the gloriousness of theatre!

won’t soon forget!

February
is the time for Mardi Gras! And
it is once again time for ACT’s bi-annual dinner theatre presentation of
Murder, Mystery & Mardi Gras. February
16-19 are the dates, the Artesia Country Club will be the place.
Play to be announced. |

The
final full-length production of the season, “Birds
of a Feather”,
is scheduled for May 5-7, 11-13. Armed
with a sharply judgmental attitude and a pair of binoculars, homeowner
Leona Crump is consumed with anxiety over her new neighbors.
Her worst fears are realized when an odd-ball “hill-folk”
family moves in across the street and she must battle to save her homey
little cul-de-sac. Will Leona
be victorious? Maybe, maybe
not – it all depends on her weedeater! |

In
June, of course, we will present Brown Bag Theatre to round out our
season. These productions are
at noon - short, sweet and free to the public on the first three
Wednesdays in June, with an evening encore presentation the Thursday
following the last noon performance for those unable to make the noon
performances.

At
the present time, all productions, unless noted, are scheduled for the
Ocotillo Performing Arts Center, 310 W. Main.
As most of you are aware, the Ocotillo’s renovation may soon go
into high gear. In the event
this occurs before the season ends, alternate sites will be procured for
the productions and these changes will be amply advertised.
Please
watch for future information concerning ACT’s productions and the
progress of our renovation efforts!
