ACT-CO Festival Awards 2019
2017-2018
ACT-CO is the Association of Community Theatres-Central Ontario, a not-for-profit umbrella organization with 40 to 50 theatre group members from Oakville to Bowmanville, Muskoka to Lake Ontario. Every year about 40-something productions enter into an adjudicated festival and, in April at the annual dinner/dance gala, awards go to the professional adjudicators’ picks.
We are pleased to announce that two of the Curtain Club’s 2017-2018 productions—Butcher and Quartet— received several nominations and awards!
