ACT is Honored

   As we mentioned the other day, ACT was honored recently - here's the full story:

   Actors for Children Theatre of Flatwoods, KY received a production award at the 

Community Theatre Festival of the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Mobile, Alabama.

   ACT won "Outstanding Achievement in Props" for the performance of A Thousand 
Cranes by Kathryn Schultz Miller. ACT advanced to SETC last fall and was 
selected to represent Kentucky at SETC after winning "Outstanding Production" 
for 2013 at the Community Theatre Festival at the Kentucky Theatre Association 
Conference. ACT also holds KTA awards for "Outstanding Costume Design" and 
"Best Actor."  

   "I'm very proud of this cast and their performance at SETC," said Sarah Diamond 
Burroway, director/ co-founder of ACT.  

   "To to accomplish three state theatre awards and be chosen to represent Kentucky 
at a regional festival is a fantastic accomplishment for ACT," Burroway 
explained. "To also win a signficant regional theatre award in our first year 
makes me ecstatic for the future of ACT," she concluded.



ACT competed in the SETC community theatre festival at the Saenger Theatre in 
Mobile, Alabama March 7, 2014.  Seven community theatre companies from eleven 
states participated.  

   ACT is part of the non-profit Rivertown Performing Arts League and is a touring 
troupe of adult actors who perform theatre for children in the tri-state area.  
Founded in 2012, ACT will begin its third performance tour this week with "A 
Gift-Bear for the King" by Carl Memling, which Burroway adapted by permission 
from Penguin Books USA.  

   "Our mission is to bring live, educationally-based theatre to arts underserved 
children in our region," Burroway stated.
