ACT Andover presents How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

ACT - Andover Community Theater - presents their junior summer theater camp production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.  Students from Andover, North Andover and surrounding communities come together again after last years highly succeessful production of Les Miserables.  This years camp included classes and workshops in acting, music, dance and technical theater and rehearsal for the musical.  Don't miss the Andover kids putting on this very professional show this weekend!

It’s Mad Men with Music!

Can you imagine going from a lowly window washer to become Chairman of the Board in two hours? Come see exactly how that’s done when ACT Andover’s ACT Jr. proudly presents the hilarious 1960’s musical satire How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. The role of our fresh-faced hero J. Pierrepont Finch is shared by two equally fresh-faced local talents, Adam Brody of Andover, 16, and Tiernan O’Rourke, 15 from Lawrence.
