A.C.T. profile
A.C.T. is a very active amateur theatre group and part of the Addlestone Community Association based in Addlestone Surrey. The group consists of two sections - Adult and Junior. We appoint a committee to plan our activities, vet proposed productions, allocate funds and purchase technical and other equipment and material for costumes. The committee also appoints officers for various posts within the group - Musical Director, Stage manager, Wardrobe Mistress, Technical Co-ordinator and Front of House Manager. Each of these officers needs a crew of assistants.
We aim to stage four productions each year, for which auditions are held to select the principals:-
January - pantomime involving principals and all active members
Early Spring - either a full-length play or 2 one act plays with a supper in the interval
Late Spring - a musical production involving principals and all active members.
Autumn - a full length play
During the summer months we like to plan ahead - have play readings, hold workshops and generally prepare for the forthcoming year's productions
An important event in our social calendar is the Annual Dinner, when we often entertain ourselves with a cabaret. Our Social Secretary also organises several events each year, such as barbecues and skittles evenings.
The Youth Group is run for children between the age of 10 and 15 years and meets every Tuesday evening from 7.00pm - 9:00pm.
