Ramsey Theatre Company at SKYPAC launches AcTOURS to bring live theatre to schools

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center and its resident company, Ramsey Theatre Company, are launching AcTOURS, a new touring theatre program delivering professional live performances directly to schools.

The inaugural 2025 tour will feature Vexing Verses, a 45-minute original play inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, created for middle and high school audiences.

The production is designed to adapt to a variety of performance spaces and meets the square footage requirements of most school stages and gyms.

Performances of Vexing Verses include a post-show discussion with the cast, giving students the opportunity to explore literary themes, characters choices and story structure.

The program supports literacy, critical thinking and creative expression and aligns with the National Core Arts Standards.

“Traveling to SKYPAC for an event may take 3 hours out of an educators’ school day. AcTOURS will help teachers retain their valuable classroom time while adding a comprehensive educational experience for their school.,” said Dillon Godolphin, Director of Education.

Bookings are now open for the 2025 tour, which will run from Sept. 22 through Oct. 28.
