Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 opens this Friday!

Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, an ingenious and wildly comic romp which enjoyed a long and critically hailed run both on and off Broadway, opens on January 29 and runs through February 21 at ACT's studio theater at 1133 E. 70th Ave (just off the Old Seward Highway between Dowling and Dimond). Shows are at 7 pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and 3 pm Sunday afternoons. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors/military/students and $11 for kids under 12. Buy your tickets online or call 868-4913. A pay as you can preview night is this Thursday at 7.

Moonlight and Magnolias

Our next show after Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, Moonlight and Magnolias, directed by Krista Schwating, runs from March 12 to April 4. We get to spy in on legendary Hollywood producer David O. Selznick during a few days of his production of Gone With the Wind. The director has been fired, shooting has been suspended at the cost of $50,000 a day, the script is unusable after numerous rewrites, and the new screenwriter hasn't even read the book. Buy your tickets online or call 868-4913.

HEART

Thanks to everyone who made ACT's production of HEART such a success! We look forward to a reprise performance at the Last Frontier Theatre Conference in May.
