The story of
Fame, The Musical, JR: Following the international acclaim of the hit motion picture, television series and stage show,
Fame The Musical JR. is nothing short of a global phenomenon. It features a high energy, contemporary pop score (which includes the hit title song) and a touching coming-of-age story. Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts in the early 1980s,
Fame The Musical, JR. is the bittersweet, but ultimately inspiring, story of a diverse group of students who commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work. FCT's production is with special arrangement by Music Theatre International.

FCT Presents The Lion in Winter
January 25, 2019 - February 10, 2019
Choose Your Favorite Seats with Reserved Seating
Quick Link to Tickets: Click HERE
The Story: Sibling rivalry, adultery, and dungeons - The Lion in Winter, by James Goldman, is a modern-day classic. Comedic in tone, dramatic in action - the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King Henry II. Let out only for holidays, the play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over both a kingdom and King Henry's paramour during the Christmas of 1183. As Eleanor says, "Every family has its ups and downs," and this royal family is no exception. The Lion in Winter 1968 film was based on the Broadway play and included Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, John Castle, Anthony Hopkins, and Timothy Dalton in the coveted roles, earning three Academy Awards.

FCT Presents As You Like It
March 8, 2019 - March 24, 2019
Choose Your Favorite Seats with Reserved Seating
Quick Link to Tickets: Click HERE
As You Like It is one of Shakespeare's best loved comedies. The most recognizable line from the play begins "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances..." vocalizes the character Jaques in the play.
In casting the show, Director Maggie Bausch sought people "who can sing, dance, or play a musical instrument because this is one of the most musical of Shakespeare's works" she excitedly remarks. The show is being produced by Don Richardson, a longtime volunteer with many years of experience at FCT both on stage and off stage.
