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.
