Open this idea →The ACT is Maple Ridge's answer to 'nothing to do in the suburbs,' and a good one. The building near Memorial Peace Park stacks a 486-seat theatre, an intimate studio, and a free art gallery under one tidy roof. The ACT Presents season runs around 30 shows a year, and the prices make a real night out feel almost responsible. Wander the gallery, then take your seats.
