Punxsutawney Theatre Arts Guild Inc (PTAG)

About

Spotlighting area talents of all ages continues to be the primary focus of the Punxsutawney Theatre Arts Guild Inc (PTAG). Over the past decades, the all volunteer group has performed more than 100 performances ranging from elaborate Broadway musicals to dramas, comedies, murder mysteries, variety revues, Shakespearean plays and children's shows. In addition, there have been dinner theaters, religious dramas for Good Friday services and dozens of Touring Company appearances for civic, social and church groups. A few shows have also been collaborations with the High School Music Department and Van Dyke and Company.

PTAG had its unofficial beginnings during the earliest years of the Groundhog Festival back in the mid-60's when a group of theater enthusiasts pooled their talents to put on a Stage show as part of each summer's schedule. Growing interest among performers and supporters led to the Guild's formal creation in 1975. Thanks to the continuing cooperation of the Punxsutawney Area School Board, PTAG has been able to rent school facilities for the rehearsal and public performances of three shows each year. For almost as long, the troupe also has taken its summer attraction to the Verna Leith Sawmill Theater in Cook ForeSt PTAG is a member of the American Association of Community Theaters.
