Theatre33
Bellevue, Washington
(AACT Region IX)
A Game, by Dennis E. Noble
Three people accept an invitation to take part in an
experimental game. As the game progresses, we witness
the drive that makes each human want to possess more
than their neighbors—a drive that causes hatred ... and
starts wars.
From contemporary plays to beloved classics,
Theatre33 strives to provide quality live productions
that speak to the heart of audience members, evoke
current social problems and eternal ethical questions,
and tackle the complex matrix of human relationships.
Since 2013, this bilingual theater has provided a
unique platform for transplanted immigrants and nextgeneration
Americans to retain and maintain their
connection to history, literature, and language. At the
same time, it serves as a cultural hub that unites diverse
cultures and ages through the love of dramatic arts.

Silent Sky, by Lauren Gunderson
Verona Area
Community Theater
Verona, Wisconsin
(AACT Region III)
When Henrietta Leavitt joins the Harvard Observatory
in the early 1900s, she joins a group of women charting
the stars for a renowned male astronomer who has no
time for the women’s theories. This true story explores a
woman’s place in society during a time of great scientific
discovery.
Verona Area Community Theater (VACT) was
founded in 1992 with the goal of providing affordable
opportunities for children and adults to engage in
and enhance their passions for all facets of theatre.
Since that time the organization has grown from three
productions to 10-12 productions each season. At least
five productions are for youth only and in 2022 VACT
began a senior theater program, completely cast with
actors aged 55 and over. VACT is still run almost entirely
by volunteers, from production to administration to cast,
but its number-one priority is still to have fun. vact.org
