Albany Civic Theater got its start in February 1955 when Marion Karczmar directed Blithe Spirit just nine months after the group's first organizational meeting. The organizers filled the void left when Malcolm Atterbury closed The Playhouse, a professional theater on Lodge Street.
The Ilium Players of Troy united with the Albany Dramatic Group to form Albany Civic Theater after a chance meeting on Lodge Street in downtown Albany of Sally Wallenstein (later Mrs. Louis Fiordilino) of the Troy group and Martha J. Downey of the Albany group.
The Man Who Came to Dinner, with A.C.T. veteran Lloyd Symansky directing, was the first play in our current home. It opened our 1964-65 season and ran for eight nights. The runs were later extended to three weekends. Seating was expanded to 99 and later to the current 126.

I really enjoyed your production of "Time After Time" this weekend. The cast, crew and staff were all superb. The sets, including the Time Machine, put me squarely into the scenes. When I wasn't caught up between the action and suspense of the moments, I was laughing at the one-liners littered within the 2 acts. Great play! J Peter
