Located in the very Northwest corner of Pennsylvania, Erie is the State's only Great Lakes port city. The Lake is the main attraction in Erie, with the sparkling water giving Erie its nickname, "Gem City." The nearby peninsula of Presque Isle State Park provides residents and visitors ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as sailing, swimming, hiking, and biking. The city is also part of the Snowbelt, famous for the winter wonderland created by the lake effect.

All An Act Productions, or A3, as we affectionately call it, is an Erie theatre troupe whose mission is to make quality theatre more accessible to the Greater Erie Community.We strive to expose more people to The Arts and continue the tradition of live Theatre in Erie.All An Act Productions was founded in 2004 by Larry Lewis (Managing Director) and David W. Mitchell (Artistic Director).The Arts should be accessible to everyone and live theatre is no exception. We endeavor to provide a venue where those who can’t regularly go and see Erie Theatre can, and those who already do can go more often.Our intimate space allows us the opportunity to bring you even more quality productions at an affordable price! Additionally, $1 of every admission is donated to Community Shelter Services and benefits Erie's Homeless.Here are some of the comments we received from our audiences:"I am honored to become a fan. Arsenic and Old Lace was fabulous. Looking forward to attending more shows." -Connie Iesue-Bucci "Why don't Erieians know about this wonderful production? I don't think I missed a single play last winter." -Elizabeth Cavette "Not Now Darling is hysterical, we all laughed harder than I think I ever have." - Patty LaFlamme Sample"GREAT SHOW !! SPENT AN ENJOYABLE EVENING WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER AND SOME GREAT THEATRE - CONGRATS TO THE CAST ON THIS SOLD OUT SHOW !!!" - Robert Smerick"Taking great strides forward this year were All An Act Productions' Larry Lewis and David W. Mitchell. Their 2008 shows began and ended with proficiently performed farces by Ray Cooney. They also met the rigorous demands of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", the challenge of their first musical "The Last 5 Years", high gravitas in "12 Angry Men", and geriatric warmth in "A Bench In The Sun". Audience growth bodes well for the future." Floyd Lawrence, Showcase Magazine. "...in the months I have been reviewing plays at A3 one thing I have noticed is that the team of Larry Lewis and David Mitchell has a magic that no other theatre has. They are all looking for it but they just miss it. I am not sure what it is, or how they do it, but the two of them are making the works performed at A3 some of the best, most enjoyable shows in town." - Rob Taylor, EriJams Magazine
One of our daughters gifts us with Season Passes every year so we are old patrons by now. Today we joined in the story of "God's Favorite." AAA typically chooses a comedy to close out the season and this choice was among our favorites. Rather than spoil the story line, please give yourself (or selves) this theater gift to make you laugh out loud, question your beliefs and remind you that Faith is a sometimes hilarious journey. Many surprises await!! We have mentioned before that a $ of every ticket sale goes back into the Community Shelter wherein both AAA and the Shelter are housed. Over $60k has been raised since the inception of AAA.

I took my daughters and their cousins (ages 12 - 15)... we had a really great time escaping from the Niagara (with 32 seconds to spare). It was appropriately challenging and lots of fun. Our guide was very friendly and shared a ghost story about the house we were in. She gave us the right amount of hints and made our hour very enjoyable.

Multimedia exhibits and a 19th century U.S. Flagship are featured at this museum.
If you seek treasure, this is Erie's hidden chest. Erie is steeped in naval history and it comes alive here in this magnificent museum, so very well done (and well placed) and comes complete with a tall ship. Sad to say, even somewhat of a secret to area folks, this is a great take. Just a wonderful place well worth visiting.

The Tom Ridge Environmental Center (TREC) is an educational center dedicated to teaching visitors about the unique 3,200 acres of Presque Isle and the many different forms of life that inhabit the peninsula. TREC also serves as a center for research -- contributing to conservation efforts and promoting environmental awareness, helping to preserve the unparalleled beauty of Presque Isle, the site of Pennsylvania’s only seashore. While some facilities along the Great Lakes offer environmental education and others do research, none offer research, education, and visitor services in one place, making TREC a unique destination for learning, wonder, and fun. TREC is open year-round and offers free admission to its changing interactive exhibits, glass-enclosed tower, and orientation movie. Learn about the history of Presque Isle and how you can contribute to keeping it pristine and beautiful.
We traveled to the Tom Ridge Environmental Center upon the recommendation of family with whom we were visiting. The Center offers a large and fascinating degree of historic information about the region, especially Lake Erie, and the great ongoing efforts to preserve the area's natural landscape and habitats. An observation deck allows a clear view of Lake Erie, Presque Isle, and the surrounding area. Gorgeous view in the fall!

We left Bradford on time at 12:30 and arrived in Erie just before opening at 2:15. Lobby was packed and noisy until doors opened. Assigned tables eliminated a lot of confusion. Dinner began with warm soup and salad then merriment on stage. Everyone had a whole baked stuffed chicken next, nice and hot and cooked perfectly. Another round of farcical acting followed by a lemon fluff cake with cheddar cheese wedges and apple slices. The meal without utensils was complete with warm hand towels and great audience pleasure.

We enjoyed our recent trip to this winery. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The wine was good, and the cider was incredible! We purchased the tweak and the blood orange. We had a really nice time!
