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 80 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, the
most recent being $8000 toward new fly rails.
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, sound and makeup. Please contact
any FACT board member with questions.
