Celebrating Stephen Schwartz

All AACT member organizations have the opportunity to participate in this national theatre experience without leaving home! Connect your theatre with 1,000 others by participating in "Act Locally, AACT Nationally: Celebrating Stephen Schwartz."

Through the years, our community theatre stages have been filled with the lyrics and music of Stephen Schwartz. To honor Mr. Schwartz's contributions to community theatre, AACT will be awarding him the Creative Contribution Citation during our July 2008 NYC convention.

Great Incentives on Immortal Shows

As part of the celebration, Music Theatre International is offering AACT members a special royalty incentive on selected Schwartz titles, explained below, and in a packet sent to community theatre companies in late August.  Add to this a number of benefits soon to come from AACT, and you've got an unbeatable combination!
