It was almost ten years ago when a group of artistic mom volunteers in East Cobb came forward to direct the first play at their kids' middle school. Hoping for a cast of between 20 to 30 in a show intended for seven, we were shocked when over 140 students auditioned for YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN. Brought together by a shared love for young people and the theater, Susan Anderson, Theresa Dean, Patti Mactas, Johnna Mitchell and Lyn Taylor became a team, intent on finding ways to feature as many students as possible on and behind the stage, and achieve excellence in all ways... performance, production quality and team work. 

   Hundreds of students and 14 productions later, we are proud of how the Arts have become an important part of the fabric of the community.  Sold out audiences, increased participation in chorus, dance, drama and technical theater, as well as the rising social stature of the "artist" are all indications of how far we've come.  Two years ago we formed a non-profit corporation, ACT 3 Productions.  This year we opened the doors to our own black box theater and arts center in Sandy Springs to provide opportunities and the venue for artists of all kinds to showcase their talents and grow as individuals , and a place for arts appreciators to congregate.
