I am pleased to announce that my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Raidy of Aliso Viejo, California, have offered a personal contribution to ACT-TWO! They have always been very supportive of the arts. This donation is much appreciated, as it will allow us to send 5 more deserving people to see North Carolina Theatre's production of "The Drowsy Chaperone" next month. Thanks, Nana and Pop-Pop! You are the best!

ACT-TWO has received a contribution of between $250 and $500 from the Cardinal Gibbons High School 2013 Penny Challenge! Over $22,000 was raised through the event this year, with their catchy theme "It is our time to care, it is our time to share." They have certainly shared by pledged funding for ACT-TWO through the spring of 2016! Special thanks to Theology teacher Ms. Patricia Gallagher, who has been so supportive of ACT-TWO's mission from the start. ACT-TWO can do so much with this annual funding. Bravo, CGHS! 

Yet another great event was held at Raleigh Little Theatre.  Seven clients from the Raleigh Rescue Mission enjoyed The Importance of Being Earnest. Once again, RLT put out an "Oscar"-winning performance and a "Wilde" time was had by all! Special thanks to ACT-TWO Assistant Director Amanda Lee, as well as Holly Cook and Sandy Stewart of the Raleigh Rescue Mission. 

We definitely weren't late for this important date! ACT-TWO ran another raffle at Cary Academy's production of Alice in Wonderland from February 13th-15th, 2013. One of our teammates actually starred as the Mad Hatter, Amanda Lee. This raffle is the first one hosted by Cary Academy. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful school as a part of the network.  Three lucky people won certificates to Raleigh Little Theatre shows. Very merry unbirthday wishes go out to team members Morgan Goetz, Amanda Lee, Carly Lupton-Smith and Erin McCarthy for their help and support! Thanks also to all who donated! Stay tuned for updates on our next event.

ACT-TWO is proud to announce Amanda Lee as an Assistant Director!

Amanda Lee is a sophomore at Cary Academy. She enjoys experiencing the theatre as both an audience member and a performer. Besides participating in her school’s theatre productions, she takes classes at the NC Theatre Conservatory. At school she is also a member of the service organization, Beta Club. She is excited to share her love of the arts with others and to help make theatre more accessible to those with limited access.

Tonight, 7 fantastic women from the Raleigh Rescue Mission were treated to a great night of quality theatre! They attended the NCT & Broadway Series South production of "Catch Me if You Can." We look forward to future outings with this wonderful organization! 

ACT-TWO has added yet another member to its cast list: the Raleigh Rescue Mission, which has been helping the homeless in the Triangle area for more than 50 years! 7 well-deserving clients of the mission will get to attend NCT and Broadway Series South's production of the hit musical "Catch Me if You Can" this Wednesday! A special thanks goes out to Holly Cook, Director of Volunteer Ministry for her prompt and diligent action in coordinating this next outing under tight time constraints!

When will the next ACT-TWO benefit be held? This riddle's been solved at the Cary Applause Youth Theatre's production of "Liza & the Riddling Cave." We successfully raised $125 for the next outing! Special thanks to ACT-TWO A.D. Morgan Goetz and Cary Applause's Rachel Baranski for leading this raffle and to all those who donated!
