Adirondack Children's Troupe
Adirondack Children's Troupe (ACT) was founded in 1979 to provide a top quality theatre experience for school-aged children. ACT presents three productions per year cast with students in grades 4-12. Fall is cast with students in grades 8-12, Spring with grades 4-7, and Summer with grades 4-12. Anyone may participate by registering for the appropriate aged production. ACT believes in a non-audition program, and students are registered on a first-come, first serve basis. Productions are then cast from those registered, giving children of all abilities an opportunity to participate in live theatre. ACT's theater experience helps children develop communications skills and self-awareness through creative thinking and group dynamics develop self-esteem and confidence, which is critical in molding young lives learn that every job involved in theatre is important to what the audience sees and experiences.
