Act II Playhouse Celebrates 25 Years With Proclamation From Ambler Mayor

Act II Playhouse received an official proclamation celebrating their 25th anniversary from Ambler mayor, Jeanne Sorg.

Following a Thursday matinee performance of the comedy, “Boca” by Jessica Provenz, Act II Playhouse Artistic Director Tony Braithwaite took the stage to introduce Sorg.

Sorg praised the one-of-a-kind performances at the Playhouse and the theatre's resiliency in bouncing back from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The ceremony concluded with an official presentation of the proclamation celebrating “25 years of contributions to the cultural renaissance of the Borough of Ambler.”

“It is a real honor for Act II Playhouse to have the support of the Borough,” said Braithwaite. “Their recognition of what we do at the Playhouse means a lot to our staff and the incredibly talented casts and crew who make all of our shows possible.”

Sorg is no stranger to the Playhouse stage. Her office as mayor was lovingly lampooned in the Playhouse's 2016 comedy cabaret, “Electile Dysfunction.” In 2021, she appeared as a guest on the virtual talk show, “Heeere's Tony.”

Act II Playhouse's Silver Anniversary season kicked off at the beginning of August with “Boca” whose sold-out run has been extended through September 3, 2023.
