Founded in 2003 by Amy Waguespack, Acting Up (in Acadiana) is the resident theatre company at the Acadiana Center for the Arts in Lafayette. Acting Up creates ensemble-driven work with the belief that every production is bigger than any individual artist involved and ultimately meant to connect with an audience.
