THANK YOU!
A million thanks to everyone who came out to support YouthFACT's production of Blather, Blarney, and Balderdash!
The kids had so much fun and we had a great turnout for all three performances. Thank you to everyone who attended and to those who helped this production become a reality! We hope you always carry a little piece of the 'magic of storytelling' in your hearts.

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.
