What's Happening

Yeehaw! Registration is now open for The Beaver Dam Area Community Theatre ‘s(BDACT) One Voice, Children’s Chorus’ spring semester. The chorus invites area students in grades 3–5 to saddle up for a homespun season of lively music, teamwork and fun as they embark on a musical journey inspired by brave American pioneers.

The Beaver Dam Area Community Theatre (BDACT) is living up to its motto, “Theater for Everyone,” with an exciting new discount. To ensure more community members can experience high-quality live music, all students are now eligible for 50% off tickets to the popular Fire and Ice Concert Series!

The people I speak with about doing shows at BDACT almost always ask me, "Isn't that a ton of work, putting on all those productions?" and the answer is always, “Yes!” Because it is a ton of work, from organizing/blocking the show as the director, memorizing lines, blocking, or choreography as an actor, or keeping everything from coming undone as stage manager. Then you have tech and the rest of the production team, busting their butts, with one goal in mind: giving our community an amazing show!

The stage is set for another diverse, fun, and entertaining season of productions at the Beaver Dam Area Community Theatre (BDACT)! Thanks to the generosity of so many in our area communities, the BDACT Fine Arts Center, is a world-class, high-tech, comfortable, yet still intimate venue in which to to be entertained. And 2026 promises to be an outstanding year to see our Artistry in Action!

What do dead pigeons, bruises, bats and a cockroach on your neck all have to do with theatre? Well, in my case, it signifies my introduction to BDACT! Wait. It sounds like a downer of a start to a blog but stay with me. It gets better…

Get ready to swing with the sounds of big band music with the Beaver Dam area’s own Paddle City Big Band at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23 in the BDACT’s Kamps Auditorium.
