Acting Up is a volunteer young performers community theater group based in Mason, Ohio. We are a non-profit organization, formed in March of 2005. Acting Up was founded to provide experiences in all aspects of the theatre arts to young people in our area communities. We perform two large musicals a year with young actors ages 6 to 18 years old. In addition, for the last 12 years, we have had an annual musical revue, each with its own fun theme.  For the last 5 years, Acting Up has offered summer camps for aspiring actors in 1st through 8th grade.

​

At Acting Up, we rely on volunteerism and are committed to providing the community not only with an exceptional finished theatrical product, but a fulfilling, educational and fun process. All participants are viewed as integral to the process and family involvement is welcomed and encouraged. Acting Up’s goals include producing an enjoyable, educational, enriching theater experience while giving our audiences a high-quality, polished theatrical production. In addition, Acting Up stresses working together with the community, including as many participants as possible.

​

As of 2024, Acting Up has produced 36 large scale musical productions! We are looking forward to celebrating our 20th anniversary in 2025! Acting Up is thrilled to continually welcome back many of our alumni to be directors, music directors, choreographers, house managers, and other integral members of our production teams. In 2022, we were excited to have our first second generation young performer in a production!
