Starts at 7:00 PM.  Doors will open at 6:00 PM so that everyone has a chance to select their music.  Beverages will be available.    We are in the new ACTORS Lounge, so seating is limited.  This is going to be fun!   Sponsored by The Ames Convention and Visitors Bureau and the City of Ames through the Commission on the Arts.

ACTORS offers Stage Dancing for Beginners
ACTORS received a COTA mini-grant from the City of Ames to expand the education and entertainment offering in our new space.  Our next offering is Stage Dancing for Beginners.  During each class the students will learn a combination of common dance steps in a fun and inviting way.  The class will be taught by Marge Bennett.  Marge has taught theater and dance, and she has directed and choregraphed.  The class will meet Tuesday nights starting April 12 and will run for six weeks.  Classes start at 7:00 and will run about an hour or two.   Come to one or all classes.  Classes are $10 each.

ACTORS got a Community Betterment Grant from Prairie Meadows to help cover the cost of updating our stage lighting system.  Their generous grant will has allowed ACTORS to order a new light control board.  Our old board did not have the capacity to run a full set LED stage lights because each LED instrument requires eight channels.  When the new board arrives, we will be able to start converting the rest of our stage lighting to LED.  This will save electricity, keep the theater cooler, and give the lighting designer more options.  Thank you to Prairie Meadows!!

Due to changes in the CDC guidelines, ACTORS will no longer require masks for everyone in our building.  We highly encourage you to wear a mask for your safety and for the consideration of others sitting around you.  Besides, it helps discourage colds and flu.  We still require all persons who audition for shows, or agree to serve as part of the production crew, be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Thank you for understanding!
