Archbold Community Theatre has resulted in a close friendship for three young actresses.

Kate Nofziger and MacKenna Whitacre, Archbold, and Lydia Babcock, Napoleon, first came together during the ACT production of “Annie,” then worked together on “Alice in Wonderland, Jr.”

When asked what she enjoyed about being an ACT actress, Whitacre said, “It’s making new friends and performing in front of people.

“And being in shows with Kate and Lydia,” Whitacre said.

Nofziger agreed, noting that for the first time, a character she’s playing actually has a name.

Babcock said she enjoys acting because she makes new friends.

She also said she enjoys performing “and hearing the applause at the end of the show, because it shows that people recognize all the hard work we put into the show.”

All three said they will continue to seek roles on the ACT stage.

When asked about ACT’s current production, “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus,” Nofziger said people should see the show “because it’s about Christmas and why people should believe there is a Santa Claus.”

Archbold Community Theatre will present five performances of “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” at Giffey Hall in the Ridgeville Corners theatre district, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 2-3, 9-10, and Sunday, Dec. 11.
