An Act Theatre Productions

(Click on picture to enlarge)
All An Act Productions, or A3, as we affectionately call it, is an Erie theatre troupe whose mission is to make quality theatre more accessible to the Greater Erie Community.
We strive to expose more people to The Arts and continue the tradition of live Theatre in Erie.
All An Act Productions was founded in 2004 by Larry Lewis (Managing Director)
and David W. Mitchell (Artistic Director).
The Arts should be accessible to everyone and live theatre is no exception. We endeavor to provide a venue where those who can’t regularly go and see Erie Theatre can, and those who already do can go more often.
With the gracious help of The Erie School District and the Principal and Staff at East High School, we were able to mount Ray Cooney’s “Funny Money” in 2004, followed by Monk Ferris’ “Let’s Murder Marsha!” in 2005, A.R. Gurney’s “The Middle Ages” in 2006.
In 2007, thanks to the help of Community Shelter Services, we acquired the 130 seat theatre in Columbus Square, 652 West 17th Street in Erie! We mounted our first production of Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple" that year and have been steadily growing ever since.
Our intimate space allows us the opportunity to bring you even more quality productions at an affordable price!

-Linda Klemm
"We thought the show was excellent!!! It is hard to single any one out, but it was really fun to enjoy so many talents who have been unknown to us. The comic routines were very well done and timed.“ R&J Laurie
"It was one great production! Everyone in it did a fantastic job. I am so glad I had the opportunity to see it." -Robert Bogart
"Great show last night! I really enjoyed it!" -Henry Shader
"All An Act's production of 'Assassins' is a MUST- SEE!" - Jim Griffey

-Janet Little
"You really outdid yourself with Assassins! It was just terrific." Linda Martin Kemp
"The Love List"
"The Love List was my favorite show to see! It was entertaining from start to finish and was full of great acting! Well done." -Christine Cedzo
"Love List was a smart, witty and hilarious show.. if you haven't
seen this, I recommend that you get a chance to see it. You won't
be disappointed." -Dave DiCola
"Taking great strides forward this year were All An Act Productions' Larry Lewis and David W. Mitchell. Their 2008 shows began and ended with proficiently performed farces by Ray Cooney. They also met the rigorous demands of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", the challenge of their first musical "The Last 5 Years", high gravitas in "12 Angry Men", and geriatric warmth in "A Bench In The Sun". Audience growth bodes well for the future." Floyd Lawrence, Showcase Magazine.
"...in the months I have been reviewing plays at A3 one thing I have noticed is that the team of Larry Lewis and David Mitchell has a magic that no other theatre has. They are all looking for it but they just miss it. I am not sure what it is, or how they do it, but the two of them are making the works performed at A3 some of the best, most enjoyable shows in town." - Rob Taylor, EriJams Magazine
It is our sincere hope that all of our projects are equally
well received and enjoyed by the Erie Community.
We hope you will experience All An Act Productions and help keep
Erie Theatre alive and growing!
