Ann Arbor Civic Theatre
The Ann Arbor Civic Theatre (A2CT) is a primarily volunteer-based organization that has been around for over 78 years. It has archives of posters, announcements, and photographs of its productions ranging back to the 1950s. Students are working to inventory and arrange and describe collections at A2CT, as well as to digitize selected materials for display on the theatre's website. Please contact Beth Panozzo (bgpanozzo@umich.edu) for more information.
