Theatre With A Twist, an Acton-based community theater that focuses on family and education, has found a residence at the Church of the Good Shepherd, 164 Newtown Road, Acton. The halls of Good Shepherd are filled many days during the week with the vibrant sounds of youth singing, dancing, and preparing for upcoming performances, which will also be presented at the church campus.
“Theatre With A Twist aligns with our church mission of community involvement and inclusion of those of all ages and all traditions,” states the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, Rector, Church of the Good Shepherd. “We are thrilled to have Theatre With A Twist amongst us.”
Mary Spinosa-Bourget, Executive Director of Theatre With A Twist commented on her sense that the Theatre and Good Shepherd are collaborative, as they share styles and goals. “Both of our organizations value acceptance and support for all people without judgement, knowing how important that acceptance is for personal growth, confidence, and joy in life. Good Shepherd feels like a welcoming, safe space in the same way that many families have described Theatre With A Twist.”
The Theatre has a full schedule of productions in the coming months for all age ranges. Visit https://theatrewithatwist.org/ to learn about opportunities for participation and to make plans to attend an upcoming show.
