By Sharon Dargay Staff Writer Every ticket-holder will get the best seat in the house at the Random Acts of Theatre show this month in Dearborn. The audience will sit on the stage for the showcase of one- act plays and songs. “You are on stage with the actors/musicians, so it’s a more intimate experience. You get to see the action of the performance better. You get the see the actors expressions better,” said Cory Chambless, a Plymouth resident who is assistant directing. “It’s also a bare bones production, so you get to see what’s going on behind the scenes as well. The patrons become part of the show.” Dearborn Area Theatre Association created Random Acts of Theatre last year as a scholarship fundraiser for high school seniors active in school and community theater. Shows start at 8 p.m. Friday- "Promenade All!" features Michele Devins (left) of Southgate, Richard Bulleri of Dearborn and Chris Washburn of Garden City.
