Set/Build Facility Fire Recovery - Update

Thank you for all of the support we received from the community during our rebuilding efforts after the fire. Rebuilding is a long and continuous process. We have since moved into a temporary facility on 108 E. Church Street, in downtown Mason, OH. However, as a non-profit, we are always happy to receive donations. We are currently looking for:

Alternate Facility Possibilities

We are still in search of alternate facility ideas. Our wonderful location in downtown Mason, OH is temporary. We are always looking for building and storage facilities.

If you have access, or connections, to a building that could be used by Acting Up for temporary or permanent storage or build space, please let us know by contacting us at:
