"That was good. Do it again." Kathy Sutter: Director and Co-founder of ACTS


ACTS

the theater that I have played a part in, 1991-2002

ACTS has been putting on quality shows since 1990. If you want to see a professional show that the whole family can enjoy in Western New York, check out Wolfmanted's ACTS page for show dates, and plans for future shows.

Living Nativity is one of ACTS annual events. It was performed in the barn behind St. John's School.

"If I wanted to see a show, I'd buy a ticket. " Ruth Willerth


ACTS has put on the two shows I wrote. Sometimes I get to act. The rest of the time I do tech. Please do not ask me any questions about sound. I hate sound. However sound effects are cool. Lights are fun. I love lighting design. Do not ask me any questions about Pars, or frenels--our six lekos have an effective range of 20 feet. The real question is what can one do with a coffee can after the can becomes defective, and no longer holds any coffee? aaaah, cofee.... The majority of our stage was lit with work lights, and tin cans with 150 watt flood lights screwed in.

The Heart of ACTS

For ten years we performed our shows at Saint John's School on the corner of Westwood and Sandridge Road, in Alden, New York. While we appreciated being able to utilize Saint John's School facilities, we were in need of a place to put our productions that we could call our own.

The Summer of 2001 we did our first show at the Bean Counter Coffee House, 1470 Church Street, in the center of the town of Alden in NY.

Love by Stephanie Genco is a poem written by one of ACTS actors. Stephanie joined ACTS Fall 2002. Like most people in ACTS, she is multi-talented.

Lighting Inspirations

Lighting Inspirations is a short slide show showing some of the things I think our stage lights should capture.

Tech and Writing Links

Smatterings Theater Tech and Writings Links This is my prized collection favorite tech links.

Film, TV, and Radio, has been added to my theater tech link section for the people out there that found this page through a search engine, who are more interested in scriptwriting than they are in theater. Many of the script writing links covered film writing along with play writing. Most stage plays have to be adapted to make a screenplay. From an acting viewpoint: sometimes you can pick up a character's mannerism from watching a movie. From a writer's viewpoint; many of the concepts used in film are global concepts, and work well in many mediums.

Finding Scripts for Future Productions Copies of the two plays I wrote, can be found on this page along with links to freeware and shareware scripts available on the Internet. I also have a good link to a search engine dedicated to finding commercial plays.
