FCT's Big Fish - Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH centers on Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest. Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him – most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Overflowing with heart and humor, BIG FISH reminds us why we love going to the theatre – for an experience that’s richer, funnier and more extraordinary than life itself.
May 4-20, Fri & Sat at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:00.

A new take on Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s groundbreaking musical fairytale about wishes and the choices we make.
Be careful what you wish for as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical. Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters – Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.
The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse and wind up changed forever.

ARTISTIC COMMITTEE MEETING SCHEDULED;
SHOW IDEAS REQUESTED!
All FCT members are invited to get involved with the Artistic Committee's planning process for future seasons. We will kick off planning for the 2019-2020 season on May 5th from 9 AM to noon, at the Fauquier Enterprise Center (conveniently located just around the corner from the theater at Vint Hill). Is there a show you have always wished that FCT would stage? Do you - or someone you know - have the desire to direct a show for FCT? We want to hear from you! We are looking for folks who want to be part of the Play Reading group, or who would like to take on the roles of Producer, Theater Scheduler, or Budget Lead. Aspiring directors who want to propose a show should visit the FCT website and go to the Directors page to download the Director Proposal form. If you have any questions, please email our Artistic Chair, Dr Sheryl Solow, at Artistic_Chairman@FCTstage.org

The Summer Spotlight Showcase is a one-week day camp for students with a passion for theatre. Students interested in trying theatre for the first time who do not want a moment to themselves in the spotlight should apply for another camp.
Every student will be assigned two scenes which will both be performed at the end of the week. Every student will act in a scene from a play, Students may sing in one of their scenes if they wish, or will be assigned another scene from a play. The content of the scenes are designed to give students the opportunity to try and learn something new in a low pressure environment. Coaching sessions will focus on character development, physicality, scene structure, and stagecraft. Students will also learn improvisation, theatre games, basic stage makeup, ensemble work, and more. On Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, students will show their hard work to their classmates, friends, and family, in what will be sure to be a fun performance to cap off a blast of a week!
Students will be expected to have looked at their lines and music before the start of the camp, as the coaching times will be focused more on rehearsal and blocking rather than teaching the material. Scene assignments under consideration include pieces from Romeo and Juliet, The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden, Henry and Mudge, Mary Poppins, and more!
