WE ARE LOOKING FOR DIRECTORS!! If anyone is interested in directing or co-directing a play for FACT, please contact any of the board members.If you are excited about theatre, consider directing a play for FACT. We are always interested in new ideas for plays in the Fort Atkinson area. Contact any board member for more information. What is FACTFort 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.
