All The World's A Stage And all the men and women merely players
What's better and more personal than watching a movie on the big screen? Attending a live theatre performance! And the best source for live theatre is closer than you might think, right here in our own hometown of Sparta, NC.
Alleghany Community Theatre (ACT) has been around for over 30 years, and has earned a reputation for putting together great performances in a variety of venues throughout Alleghany County and in neighboring cities. ACT is completely powered by volunteers, from the cast and backstage crew to the creative graphic artists and the board of directors.

Need another show fix? See below for our radio plays recorded during COVID.
Listen to our Radio Plays from the Spring/Summer of 2021:
The first show we completed is a radio play originally broadcast back in the 1940's: The Bickersons "Second Honeymoon." This is a comedy show where a man and his wife are constantly bickering at each other. Poor John Bickerson is the hen-pecked husband who regrets his first honeymoon, much less his second; his wife Blanche is the one doing most of the needling.
The second show is an Agatha Christie mystery starring Hercule Poirot, entitled "The Case of the Careless Victim."
