FACT Scholarships
It's scholarship season! FACT offers two scholarships annually: the Comstock Memorial Scholarship (for FAHS graduates majoring in theatre or related fields) and the Bob Horton Memorial Scholarship (for students in any major who have participated in FACT or YouthFACT productions).
Applications from Fort Atkinson High School students are collected through the school. Students from other high schools who wish to apply for the Horton Scholarship may use this form: https://forms.gle/jzqq3UNtay1X6dvx6.
Application deadline: March 1, 2023.
Thank you to everyone who attended, starred in, and volunteered for Fort Atkinson's Got Talent! The show was a huge success and helped FACT raise approximately $1,400 for future productions and scholarships. We are so very grateful for your support!
We hope you enjoyed our incredible local talent and we'd love to hear what you thought! Email us at pr@fortfact.org to submit your feedback.

Don Hinz
Don Hinz was a founding member of FACT, then called Fort Atkinson Little Theatre. He acted in many productions, including Waltz of the Toreodores, 1776, Medea, Midsummer Night's Dream, Mornings at Seven, The Dining Room, and Our Town. There were likely many more, as he was involved with FACT for 41 years. He also directed productions, most notably, The Diary of Anne Frank and The Miracle Worker. After retiring from teaching, he moved on to productions at The Fireside and a national touring company of A Christmas Carol.
Sadly, Don passed away in March 2022. A memorial fund has been established in his name to honor this wonderful man and his contributions to FACT.
