"Petticoat Government", a historical drama, tells the story of Edith Wilson, the second wife of President Woodrow Wilson. During his time in office, Wilson shocked America by courting and marrying Edith soon after his first wife's death, consulting her on political matters from appointments to foreign policy. When Wilson suffered a serious stroke in 1919, leaving him paralyzed on his left side, he was confined to bed for weeks and sequestered from everyone except his wife and his physician. The First Lady determined what documents the president read and who was allowed to communicate with him.

What is ACT Theatre Company?
ACT Theatre Company is proud to be a 501c3, not for profit, community theater. For us this means that anyone can audition for a roll, even if the only place you have performed is in your home or car. We have all sorts of volunteer and sponsorship opportunities as well for those who have the theater bug, but don’t want to be on stage.
Our History
ACT began in the spring of 2007 as a group of friends who came together to do a children's show at the Auburn Community Center. The show was so successful that we decided to do another show in the summer of 2008, this time as an adult comedy. In 2009, ACT offered its first actual "season" of live theater. Seven shows were scheduled throughout the year. Season tickets were advertised and sold.
After the 2016 season the Theatre moved from Auburn, Kansas to Topeka, Kansas and legally changed its name to ACT Theatre Company. In 2016 ACT Theatre Company performed as the Kansas entry to the AACT Region V festival in Minnesota.
In 2017 under the new name ACT Theatre, the season opened at the prestigious Topeka Performing Arts Center. In 2018 ACT Theatre performed several productions on the stage at The Break Room in downtown Topeka, Kansas and on stage at Grace Episcopal Cathedral.
In 2019 The Forest Park retreat center was in the process of adding new events to their schedule. ACT Theatre agreed to partner with them to produce some shows in their facilities and to help with maintenance and income. The facilities at this location were not the most convenient so in 2020 ACT Theatre Company entered into a contract to use the Elmont UMC Fellowship Hall which has a stage and a kitchen area. It was anticipated that dinner theatre performances could be held there. We are proud to call this the Permanent Home of ACT Theatre Company. It is the intent of ACT to promote local playwrights work whenever possible and give them a platform for their plays.
We are an all volunteer 501 (c) 3 organization. We rely on word-of-mouth advertising and ticket sale
