OUR STORY
ACT was created in 1995 by a group of dedicated, theatre-loving individuals on Prince Edward Island. Since then, it has presented top-quality productions, including blockbuster musicals (Jesus Christ Superstar, HMS Pinafore, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sweeney Todd); strong dramas (The Crucible, Julius Caesar, Waiting for Godot, Macbeth); classics (The Mousetrap, The School for Scandal); delightful comedies (Noises Off, Lend Me a Tenor, Midsummer Night's Dream); and much more.
In 2025, ACT celebrated its 30th anniversary. You can read more about the history of ACT and it's beginnings here: 'What's in a name?'

Two bachelors. Two secret identities. Two very complicated love lives. And absolutely no reason to tell the truth when lying is so much more fun.
Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest is a gloriously ridiculous comedy about romance, reputation, and the lengths we’ll go to get out of dinner parties. Jack and Algernon have invented alter egos to escape their responsibilities. But when their worlds collide, the lies start piling up, the romances get tangled, and Lady Bracknell is ready to ask some very important questions.
Expect sharp wit, absurd situations, outrageous characters, and enough social scandal to make Victorian society blush.
