We are already working on our next production . The F-S Arts Council has decided to add a non-musical production to our Youth Theatre programing. On March 13,14, & 15 2026, we will be producing the play “Charlotte’s Web” based on the very popular book written by E.B. White. Under the direction of Jamie Norton, the cast will include 1st-8th graders and give students a chance to showcase their ACTING abilities and perform in an Arts Council production as they bring this classic story to life. Auditions will be held January 12th & 13th 2026. More detailed information will be coming soon so please keep following our page.
