The shows have been selected and the arrangements have been made...it's now time for, Theatre On The Fly 3.
Theatre On The Fly is MoACT's fundraising festival that is literally theatre on the fly. Auditions are open to all and anyone may attend and participate in this festival, teens and children are especially encouraged to participate this year, (auditioners please, bring a 1-2 minute monologue to audition with, you may read it, it doesn't have to be memorized). The shows are staged and performed with script-in-hand. Performers from all over are welcome to audition and get the opportunity to perform with other actor's from other theatres from all over. The shows audition on Fri. evening, they are cast on Friday evening, they rehearse Sat. Morning and performances begin on Sat. afternoon...theatre on the fly! This is a very popular festival and a great way to make new friends and connect and share with the theatre community. Even if you are not performing it's a great way to learn about new shows. Theatre On The Fly is great fun for all!

Note: Due to contractual issues, our slate of plays has been changed to those listed in the agenda below.
