The
Fairfax Community Theatre Company (FCTC) began in 1991 when a
small group of Fairfax residents decided to start a community
theatre that would allow local people the opportunity to participate
in the performing arts without traveling a great distance. A production
team was established, a show selected, a director found, actors
auditioned; and in late August of that year the musical South
Pacific was presented.
The
musical Oklahoma was produced the following summer. Since then,
FCTC has presented two to four shows per year. To date, we have
had forty-two different productions including musicals, dramas,
comedies, one-act plays and performance showcases. A number of
theater workshops have been offered over the years as well. Along
the way, FCTC was formally organized with the creation of by-laws
and the formation of a board of directors and a process for choosing
annual productions was established.
FCTC
show proposals are presented in January. Prospective shows are
reviewed by the board of directors for financial feasibility and
then voted upon by the FCTC membership. Anyone interested in more
information about proposing a show should contact the current
FCTC President or another board member.
Participation
in FCTC is open to any individual in any community who is interested
in the performance, technical or production aspects of community
theatre. Membership in the organization is open to any individual
over the age of 12 who has participated in a FCTC production within
the last year. Membership is free.
Audition
and production notices are included in area publications and are
also noted on this website. To join the FCTC mailing list and
