About the Don Hall Scholarship This endowed scholarship fund was started by friends of Donald H. Hall to honor him as a stalwart theater arts supporter in Aberdeen. He was co-founder of ACT 2, Inc. Without Don there would be no Aberdeen Community Theatre. Northern State University (NSU) and the community, working together, started a theater program in 1979 with students and interested ind ividuals mounting one show each summer session. In 1980, ACT 2, Inc. – doing business as Aberdeen Community Theatre (ACT) – was incorporated as its own 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, but ACT still worked closely with NSU. From 1980 to 1993, ACT’s primary home was NSU’s Johnson Fine Arts Center. ACT acquired the Capitol Theatre in 1993 and moved out of the Johnson Fine Arts Center, but the close relationship with NSU still exists. Young People's Theatre Scholarship Young People's Theatre's mission is to build character and confidence one child at a time. If a family can't afford the YPT tuition, there are scholarships available for those who need help. Find out more about YPT, and download the application for a scholarship!

Driving Miss Daisy (2007)Doris Graeber as Daisy and Andre Cobbs as Hoke Senior Theatre Live Theater Keeps You Young! Aberdeen Community Theatre celebrates older performers with its newest programming, Senior Theatre. Plans are currently being made to launch into this exciting avenue. Senior Theatre is one of the fastest growing forms of the performing arts in the country. The most popular form is readers’ theatre or script-in-hand performances. This “less threatening” technique helps participants leap over the memorization hurdle so more performers can be on stage with confidence. Also popular is creating theater to educate audiences about issues such as aging awareness, fall prevention and a wide assortment of disease related concerns.

- 9 to 5 The Musical
< Back June 6-11, 2023 9 to 5 The Musical ACT Summer Musical “9 to 5 The Musical,” with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the 1980 hit movie in which three unlikely friends take control of their office and prove there is nothing they can’t do – even in a man’s world. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, hilarious, and through-provoking. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While he remains otherwise engaged, the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?
