Acting Up, a volunteer, non-profit community theater,provides both onstage and backstage opportunities for children ages 6-18. In their past four seasons, Acting Up has been nominated for 174 Orchid awards, winning 59 of these from the Ohio Association of Community Theaters, including Excellence in Ensemble and Excellence in Dance Execution. In addition, nine of these talented teens are up for Cappie awards this weekend.

The FunRaiser will help support community theater in keeping ticket prices for other Acting Up shows at a reasonable cost, as expenses continue to rise dramatically with each production. It will also give the young performers the opportunity to perform some great contemporary numbers, from slightly more mature-themed productions; as well as favorites from Disney movies. Songs include varied selections from shows such as “Sweeney Todd” “Phantom of the Opera” “Aladdin” “The Last Five Years” “Annie” and “Mary Poppins.”

Tickets are $20 each ($10 is a tax-deductible donation) and are available online at www.ActingUp.com or at the box office starting one hour before the show. For more information call 513-494-6062.
