ACT Celebrates Silver AnniversaryTwenty-five years ago, Pastor Fred Lewis and some of his First UnitedMethodist congregation decided to put their acting skills to use. Fromthat group, Ankeny Community Theatre was born. Since then it hasbeen a venue for a long list of local actors, directors, stage crews and volunteers to use their talents to provide entertainment to the Ankeny area.Hundreds of dedicated volunteers have donated countless hours overthe past 25 years to keep ACT a part of the community.For years, the group performed shows in many locations around Ankenyincluding Ankeny High School, Neveln Center, Lakeside Center and theold movie theater building on West 1st Street. In 1993, with the help ofDenny Elwell, ACT moved into a place it could call home. Sweat andmany hours converted the empty space into a community theater. ACThas expanded its season from one to two shows a year to five, and sometimes even six. Children’s theater and educational opportunities havebeen a vital part of ACT since 2004.Ankeny Community Theatre would like to take this opportunity to saythank you to its loyal audiences, supporters and business partners. Without their support, ACT would not be celebrating its 25th anniversary.With your continued support, ACT looks forward to providing live theater to Ankeny for another 25 years.

DIRECTOR‟S NOTESGodspell is the dramatization of the parables of Jesusas told in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew. Thedrama and music are to be perceived as a celebrationand a joyful event. The time and place of Godspellcould be anytime and anywhere.The cast in clown costumes and whiteface are a theatrical method of heightening the Good News andHappiness that the Word brings. During the finale asthe make-up is removed, the true meaning of the celebration is revealed.Jo Reid, Director
