Bethany Shultz, the Director, started Act Out Enrichment for the Arts in 2020 in order to provide an outlet to the youth through theatre. The team that produces these shows are a group of highly talented music directors including Brittany McMains and Emily Davila. Along with Melissa Dupont who serves as assistant director as well as primary hair and makeup artist. This talented crew is what makes these performances possible, but of course there would be no show without the incredible actors.

The performance itself is a visual and musical journal through several scenes delivering various messages throughout. There were many references nodding to the very act of performing in theatre and the challenges that come with that. The show is a collection of popular Broadway junior productions. Featuring many well known songs such as "We're all in this together," from Disney's High School Musical and "Matchmaker," from Fiddler on the Roof." The hard work from both the actors and production was evident, this was yet another triumphant show.
