ACT in Competition!

    Actors for Children Theatre of Flatwoods is 

representing the Commonwealth of Kentucky 

for the second year in a row at the Southeastern 

Theatre Conference.  ACT's cast and crew will 

travel to Chattanooga, Tennessee March 4-8 

to perform Monsters Under the Bed written 

by Gay H. Hammond and directed by Sarah 

Diamond Burroway.



  ACT exists to share live theatre with arts-

underserved children in our community.  

The troupe won "Outstanding Production" 

last fall at the Community Theatre Festival 

of the Kentucky Theatre Association in 

Richmond, KY.  ACT also won "Best 

Ensemble" and "Outstanding Costume 

/ Make-Up Design."  



   "ACT is really excited to perform for youth 

audiences in the Tri-state area," said Sarah 

Diamond Burroway, Director.  "To be named 

tops in the state by your peers is a tremendous 

honor. The ACT'ors are excited to perform and 

compete with the best theatre companies in 

the southeast at SETC."



   The six member cast includes:  Bill Burroway, 

Miranda Hutchinson and Emma Imes all of 

Flatwoods; Ethan Darby and Kristina Richins, 

both of Ashland; and Matthew Johnson of 

Wheelersburg, OH. 




   SETC is comprised of theatre companies 

from ten southeastern states. In 2014, ACT 

represented Kentucky at SETC with its 

award-winning production of "A Thousand 

Cranes" by Kathryn Schultz Miller. 



   ACT is also preparing to begin its spring 

touring production of "Shiver Me Timbers: 

A Pirate Play" by Gay H. Hammond.  A limited 

number of show dates are available for booking.
