Message from the Executive Director
The ACT Arts Centre and Theatre would not be here today were it not for the vision, commitment and passion of so many people-- from members of the arts community, politicians, community groups, board members, staff, donors and volunteers. The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council has had the honour and the challenge of operating and programming the facility since 2003 and it is with great pleasure as its fourth Executive Director to present you with our spectacular 10th Anniversary Season.
As we thank those who helped make the vision of an arts centre and theatre a reality, we also thank our ongoing funders and sponsors for supporting the programming that makes the centre come alive with exhibits, arts programs and presentations in our two theatres. The heart of our ACT Presents Series exists in the magic that happens when artist and audiences come together and includes music that feeds your soul, film that inspires, theatre that challenges your mind, dance that lifts your spirits, plus comedy, magic and even Circus to blow your mind! Whatever your interest we have something for everyone in the season.
We want to make sure that everyone in the community knows about The ACT and all that it has to offer, so we ask you as a valued patron to share with your colleagues, friends and family what a great experience taking a class, viewing an exhibit or seeing a live show at The ACT can be! Join us as we start things off this season with a 10th Anniversary Celebration, September 29th on Canada Culture Day with Shawn Farquhar's SECRETS magic show extraordinaire! And we look forward to hosting a second successful Youth Arts Week at the end of the season in May. Check our website for updates throughout the year.
Take full advantage of experiencing the amazing talent that will cross our stages over the 2012/13 season-- right in your own community where accessibility, comfort and convenience are part of the package. Our programming garnered a nomination by the BC Touring Council as 2011/12 BC Presenter of the Year-- come find out why!
