ACT's second show of the 2026 season is our murder mystery dinner theatre:
"Trouble in Deadwood."
Dinner and a show, onstage in Walker Hall at the Capitol Theatre! Trouble in Deadwood is set in Deadwood, South Dakota in 1876. It’s a Wild West mystery-comedy and a “whodonit” that keeps the audience guessing – while enjoying a catered meal.

Tuesday, February 24th, 7:00 p.m. at Walker Hall, Capitol Theatre, 415 S. Main Street.

Tentative show dates:
April 7th-11th, 6:30 p.m.
