Founded in 2003 by Amy Waguespack, Acting Up (in Acadiana) is the resident theatre company at the Acadiana Center for the Arts in Lafayette, Louisiana. Acting Up creates ensemble driven work with the belief that every production is bigger than any individual artist involved and ultimately meant to connect with an audience.
We are a multi-disciplined, multi-generational company that pushes each other beyond artistic and experiential comfort zones. Over the last few years we have moved toward developing new works that are rooted in the unique culture of South Louisiana, but of interest and-in our opinion-importance to the rest of the country and at times even the world.
In striving to produce relevant work we always ask ourselves, "Why this play, for this audience, at this time?" The beauty of live performance is the relationship between audience and performer; we want to give our audiences a reason to come to the theatre; we want them to engage and feel included in the experience.
