The MCs of each manga are aiming to become actresses; however, due to their outstanding talent at the beginning, they go through different performances trying to learn to "act" their role. In Act-Age, the protagonist is an actress who acts based on past experiences whereas in Glass no Kamen (aka Glass Mask) the protagonist acts while "becoming" the individual. Both perform very realistically and are envied by their colleagues. Although Glass Mask has an older art style, the story is very good. Those interested can watch the anime instead.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Act-Age ceased publication due to very regrettable circumstances... so now Glass no Kamen is the only one *still* left.
Act-Age is the spiritual successor of Glass Mask: in a nutshell, both series revolve around the world of acting and its protagonists' dream within it.
Act-Age has comedic elements Glass Mask lacks, or at very least, are not as present, and, while not the focus of the series, Glass Mask also adds a romantic subplot to the mix.
I believe a fan of any of these series would easily enjoy the other one, since these things are the most notable differences between them, the rest

Both of these manga are about theater. The scene where the main girl has a theatrical showdown with a rival character is a highlight of both works. I think Actage has less of a romantic element.
