Board Meetings

Unless directed otherwise on this site, FCT Board of Director meetings are held monthly on the third Tuesday of the month at 7 pm. For details on the location of an upcoming meeting and any other information, please contact info@fauquiertheatre.org.

Each summer, FCT holds its Annual Meeting & Lofty Awards, where members receive reports from the executive committee, elect board members, and celebrate the theater year. Watch our news for dates.

An All-Volunteer Organization

FCT has no permanent staff — the theatre is run entirely by volunteers, from the board to the actors, musicians, and behind-the-scenes crews. Day-to-day operations are coordinated with the board, community partners, actors, directors, and production teams to deliver live theatre experiences.
