A New Year 01/06/2012
 
As a new year rolls in, so does a new season for ACTT.  We will be choosing our 2012 season at the board meeting on January 10th so if there is something that you would like to do let us know.  You can suggest a show idea on our suggestion page. Also, go to the Board Meeting page in The Board drop down menu, RSVP, and fill out a Research Form.  It is a rough outline of what we need to know.  The more information we have about the show, the better we can decide efficiently.  We hope to see you at the meeting. 

Also because our officers took office mid season this year, there will be no election but don't forget to become a member to vote on things when they come up.  More information about members on the Members page.
 
 
Do not forget that the performances for "It's a Wonderful Life" are Jan. 5th and 6th at 7:30 pm and Jan. 7th at 2:00 pm!!! For more information, see the "It's a Wonderful Life" page. We hope to see you there!!
 
 
We are looking for advertisements from local businesses to put in our program for our upcoming production of Doug Rand's adaptation of "It's a Wonderful Life." By purchasing advertising space in our program for this production, businesses can help us to cover the costs of putting on a show, from set materials to renting a venue. 1/4 of a page for the ad costs $20. 1/3 costs $30, 2/3 costs $40, and a full page costs $50. So if you are interested in putting your ad in our program or if you know a business that would, please email arnoldtheatre@gmail.com. Also, do not hesitate to email us if you have any questions. Please submit advertisements by January 1.
 
 
Backstage help is needed for our performance of "It's a Wonderful Life"! We need assistants to run lights and sound, help actors change costumes, move scenery during set changes, and more. No experience necessary, but you should be available for the two weeks following Christmas (last performance on January 7th). If you are interested, please email arnoldtheatre@gmail.com, and list any particular interests and any scheduling conflicts between December 26th and January 7th.
