ActorsNET will continue its 27th season with Mae West's THE DRAG, a funny and stunningly honest stage play where drag culture meets drawing room comedy.

See THE DRAG by Mae West, presented by ActorsNET of Bucks County at the Heritage Center Theatre. Learn about performance dates and see how to purchase tickets.

ActorsNET begins its 27th Season with the last written play by the Queen of Crime.  Agatha Christie’s “Fiddlers Three,” a comedy about business and finance with a strong undercurrent of criminal activity, takes the Heritage Center stage from October 13 to October 29. See photos from the production.

Creative partners Maryalice Rubins-Topoleski and Charlotte Kirkby have become very skilled at unearthing the forgotten plays of yesteryear and breathing new life into them.  Their current endeavor is the rare revival of a 1922 comedy - The Dover Road by A. A. Milne, running March 10 through March 26. Check out the photos here!

Communists weren’t the only ones hunted during the “Red Scare” of the 1950s. Gays and lesbians were also targeted as threats to the USA as part of the “Lavender Scare.”  “Coming out of the closet” was almost unheard-of, as it could easily end a career or even a life. And no one even considered the possibility of gay marriage.

ActorsNET celebrates the holidays by premiering a free online video presentation of Dear Brutus – a fantasy drama for grownups by J.M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan. The play’s title comes from a line from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves…”

The life of a young man hangs in the balance and rests in the hands of 12 jurors in a seemingly open-and-shut case. However, can they set aside personal prejudices and preconceptions in the name of justice? That is the question for '12 Angry Men,' presented by Forté Dramatic Productions Jan. 17-26 at Mercer County Community College's (MCCC) Kelsey Theatre.
