Recognizing the transformative power theatre arts can have in the life of a child, FPCTA prioritizes theatre arts access for all by providing low cost programming to families and by intentionally engaging local underserved communities, especially in our home neighborhood of West Huntsville.  

Annually, FPCTA awards over $30,000 in free tuition to students for classes and camps and free performances to Title 1 schools.
