Flavio Betrayed is a high-spirited comedy, filled with disguise, deceit, insults, romance, friendship, stinky cheese, and outrageous hats. Told in the traditional Commedia style through an undeniably modern lens, this romantic romp follows the delightfully convoluted story of our hero Flavio, whose best friend is trying to steal the hand of his beloved Isabella, while her father attempts to marry her off to another suitor who is considerably past his prime. Penned by local playwright Scott Ford, this fast-paced comedy has something for everyone – highbrow humor, lowbrow humor, and everything in between. In the author’s own words, “Watching this play will make you feel smarter and dumber at the same time.”

Performance dates:
October 9, 10, 16 & 17 @ 7:00 pm
October 11 & 18 @ 2:00 pm (Possible added performance at 2:00 pm on October 17)

Mark Twain wrote: “There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses — and then there is Sarah Bernhardt.” In 1899, the international stage celebrity set out to tackle her most ambitious role yet: Hamlet. Theresa Rebeck’s new play rollicks with high comedy and human drama, set against the lavish Shakespearean production that could make or break Bernhardt’s career.

Performances: October 8–11 and 15–17, 2026

Reiss is cursed. Her father’s pocketwatch now belongs to her, and she knows it’s only a matter of time. Luthier, her butler, has sworn to help her break the curse. However, once a lead on the curse finds Reiss meeting Meumous, a young clocksmith, a romance begins to blossom that changes Reiss’s priorities. Taking place in 1880s London, Pocketwatch is a romantic drama that combines idiotic watchmen, villainous sibling aristocrats, and, of course, mysterious curses in a retelling of Reiss Dreighson’s unusual life.

At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden’s Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though it’s only a flesh wound, Charlie Brock’s self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce.

As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyer Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.

The Minnesota Association of Community Theatres (MACT) is a statewide, volunteer run organization. We hold meetings, workshops, festivals and other events throughout the state of Minnesota.

 MACT operates on a two year cycle.  In even numbered years we put on FAST*Fest, a non-adjudicated festival of 20-minute plays.  In odd numbered years we produce MACT*Fest, which is an adjudicated festival of 60-minute plays which is part of the AACTFest cycle.  Along with the performances at our festivals there are workshops and networking events.
