Yes, it’s that time again; time to order your Group’s tickets for the ACT-CO Gala 2012. Please note that we have a new venue this year: The Borgata Wedding and Event Venue, 8400 Jane Street, Vaughan. Check out their website to find out all about this great venue.

Good News!: there will no change in ticket price to our members. Also, it’s in the same area as The Paradise. I ask that you inform your group of the date, new location and time, then order your tickets in bulk i.e. by group. The seating is in lots of 10. This will help to avoid confusion and will also help to seat your group together.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the Gala.

   DIRECTORS & OFFICERS INSURANCE
  Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
ACT-CO group members are reminded of this important feature offered to our membership.

The directors and officers who serve non-profit organizations volunteer not only their time and expertise, but also their personal financial security. Just as with for-profit companies, individual board members can be held responsible for a vast range of alleged wrongdoing, whether or not the organization itself has any assets. From mismanagement, to anti-trust violations or breach of fiduciary duties, claims against directors are costly to defend even if unfounded. Directors & Officers Liability coverage designed with non-profit groups in mind provides protection for the organization and those who serve it.

Group Rate
Community Theatre Groups that are members of ACT-CO are eligible for a group rate (currently $450 for $1 million) on Directors & Officers Liability (D&O) insurance coverage through Firstbrook, Cassie & Anderson Insurance Brokers (fca) in Toronto.

Please click here for further details.

   2011/2012 ACT-CO FESTIVAL SCHEDULE
  THE FESTIVAL IS WELL UNDER WAY!
The Festival schedule has been completed. (From Home Page, click the "Festival" menu, or from Festival Page, click "Schedule" above for the schedule.)

All productions listed have been selected by their groups as representative of the high quality and dedicated theatre produced within Central Ontario. Each of these productions will be visited by a professional adjudicator who will watch the show and analyze the production's challenges. Their conclusions and recommendations are then shared with the cast and crew following that night's performance.

In addition to the private group adjudication, some groups will also offer a 15 to 30 minute public adjudication immediately following the performance. The audience that evening is invited, and encouraged, to stay and listen to and hopefully learn many previously unknown insights into the play itself and theatre in general. The schedule lists the shows entered in the festival and the nights they are scheduled to be adjudicated. If the night listed is not convenient, please check our Show Calendar page for a complete listing of all performances for the show in question as well as all our other member's show listing's for the season. If you are looking for entertaining, quality theatre in Southern Ontario, you need go no further than this calendar.
