Do you use children in
your shows?
We
are an adult group; however, we often have high school students in
our ensembles. When the show calls for a youngster, we have usually
used the children of cast members.

Why
are your ticket prices so inexpensive?
Our mission has been to bring traditional musical
theater to Gwinnett and we don't want to present any barriers to the
whole family enjoying our productions. We are cheaper than a
movie, cheaper than getting a baby-sitter.

Why have you only produced musicals?
Musicals have always been crowd pleasers; the familiarity of the
tunes of composers such as Rogers and Hammerstein and Cole Porter
are an endless source of enjoyment. Musicals also call for a large
cast which give more people an opportunity to participate on stage.

Are the same people
always in the shows?
We
have loyal ACT performers that have been with us since "Fiddler on
the Roof," our first adult show, as well as newcomers to our company
each year.

Do you have to have stage
experience in order to audition?
No!! We always have one or two people come out that have never been
on stage before. I believe there is an undiscovered ham in almost
all of us!

Why do you only produce
one show per year?
Our
shows demand an enormous commitment from all involved; not only the
actors and musicians, but the unsung heroes constructing sets,
making costumes, selling tickets, publicizing the performances. And
in our group, most of the behind-the-scenes people are also on
stage! "THE SHOW" becomes the focus of two months of our lives. At
the end of this time, we reintroduce ourselves to our families,
friends, and bosses and try to get back to "real life." Until our
membership grows and we have more workers willing to take on some of
the demanding tasks, we will throw ourselves whole heartedly into
this one production (and use the other ten months to rest up for
next year!).
