Synopsis
Acme celebrates the 50th anniversary of Broadway's longest running musical—an enduring story of love, hope, and life lessons. Two neighboring fathers put up a wall and forbid contact between their son and daughter, ensuring that the two will fall in love. Aided by the mysterious El Gallo, the children declare their love but soon become disillusioned in the light of day. They separate, only to reunite when they realize that all they wanted was each other.

A hilariously twisted yarn about the Soady men and their escapades at a ramshackle deer camp just before Opening Day of hunting season. Four generations of Soadys have used their little "home away from home" to drink, cause a bit of trouble, and bag bucks. But 45-year old Rueben Soady has never shot a buck. Rueben’s attempts to change his luck instead unleash a series of strange incidents involving UFOs, visions, and other-worldly spirits.
Production Dates: November 19 - December 11, 2010

A deliciously smart and wicked thriller about three unhappy women, faced with both a moral dilemma and a grand opportunity. During a dinner party, Nicky, Debra, and Molly’s inconsiderate, unloving husbands accidentally lock themselves in a meat locker. The frustrated suburban housewives must decide: should they release their insufferable men or let them freeze to death? The play unwinds like a funhouse ride, with dark surprises and unexpected twists and turns.
Production Dates: February 25 - March 19, 2011

This madcap comedy farce centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stage actors of the 1950s. They're stuck in Buffalo playing both Private Lives and Cyrano de Bergerac, often on the same day. But when director Frank Capra comes to watch the matinee, everything that can go wrong, must go wrong, and there is not a mistaken identity left undiscovered, a door that is not slammed, nor a running gag allowed any rest.
Production Dates: April 29 - May 21, 2011
Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8PM; Sunday May 15th matinée is at 3PM

"…it must be a priority to offer a variety of entertainment, educational, and cultural opportunities— something for everyone. Performing and visual arts play a key role in making a community a wonderful place to live."
—Ronald J. Norick, Mayor, Oklahoma City
For more than 17 years, Acme has been an active part of the local community, providing high-quality productions to the public at a price that makes them accessible to everyone. Acme has garnered more local, regional, national and international recognition than any other community theater in New England. Acme has twice been recognized as one of the top 10 community theaters in the United States.
Acme Theater Productions is thrilled to announce that we were chosen for inclusion in the 2008-2009 Massachusetts Catalogue for Philanthropy. This highly selective organization recognizes charities that are "predicated on good ideas, well-implemented, with cost-effectiveness and demonstrated excellent results, recognized by others as outstanding in their fields." It is a great honor to be chosen, and we invite you to visit our own special CFP webpage to see what they said about us:
http://www.catalogueforphilanthropy.org/ma/2008/acme_theater_83943.htm
Our ticket sales and returning audience members also let us know we are succeeding in the quality and diversity of the work we present. But we can't do any of this without your support! You see, only about 50% of our operational costs are funded by ticket sales; the rest is covered by donations from people like you who recognize and appreciate the outstanding theatre Acme provides each and every show.
Here's why we need your help. In the last four years, we have seen a serious and significant decline in local financial support for the arts, and support for community theaters like Acme has fallen to dangerously low levels. Also during these difficult economic times, we have experienced a substantial increase in our necessary operating costs. Your financial support at any level is appreciated!
For convenience, the Catalogue has established a Donor Link so that your support can go directly to Acme, without writing a check or needing a stamp. The Catalogue even issues a receipt for your tax purposes! I ask you to choose a support level to show not just your encouragement for Acme Theater, but to show that the arts are an important and necessary part of life. Acme Theater is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization; 100% of the money received goes directly to the support of quality live theater.

Thank you very, very much.

"The arts are at the very center of community development in this time of change… change for the better. It is essential to the future of our country that the arts be encouraged and supported."
