All conservatory classes are open to the public. We promise a safe, inclusive, and fun environment where students explore, learn, and grow through creative outlets.

FWAFA As YOU Like It

Our first Theatre production of the year was a HUGE success! Four intimate, Shakespeare in the Park-style shows brought over 580 audience members together on the FWAFA Green Space last weekend. Our first live, in-person theatre production in two years had everyone laughing and singing along. Check out the FWAFA As You Like It playlist here.

A huge thanks to YOU for your support and patronage - and a BIG congrats to the FWAFA Theatre Department for pulling off this one-of-a-kind show!
