What is
FACT
Fort Atkinson Community Theatre, Inc. (FACT) began as a group of
individuals who gathered in the summer of 1962 to form a community
theatre group. Prior to that time, theatre pieces were presented by
church groups and others, but not as an organized body. About 25
people attended the first meeting and in November of that year the
Fort Atkinson Community Theatre presented the play Harvey.
Three months later the organization became incorporated.
Since that
first production, the Fort Atkinson Community Theatre has presented
over 125 plays of all kinds, as well as three productions of
the Blackhawk Pageant. Over the 40 year history of the theatre,
thousands of people have not only attended these productions but
also participated in them. In 1969, FACT created a scholarship fund
called the "Comstock Memorial Scholarship." The scholarship is
awarded to graduating high school seniors from Fort Atkinson High
School who demonstrate an interest in continuing their education in
the arts. The scholarship is funded completely from revenues
generated from performance admissions. FACT
also contributes revenue from its plays for Fort Atkinson High
School Auditorium upgrades. FACT has recently upgraded the Luther
Elementary Stage with a new sound system which can be used for plays
and by the elementary school. We have also purchased 100 comfortable
chairs which will be used in the school board room but which will be
moved for spectators when we perform plays.
We
encourage and welcome any with a love of theatre to become a member
of FACT. When casting plays, FACT opens its auditions to anyone who
shows interest. All are welcome to learn about set construction,
lighting, ushering, costuming, sound and makeup. Please contact any
FACT
board member with questions.
