Fort Collins Children's Theatre

Looking for a fun way to promote literacy, exercise the imagination of children, and nurture cultural appreciation? 

Try our School/Theatre Outreach program!

4-6 local performers will entertain groups large or small for an hour of fun with familiar folktale/fairytale characters.

We use original scripts of adapted tales that include audience interaction and our simple set can work anywhere.

Our usual charge is $75 an hour, but we will accept a contribution to FCCT, or work it out as an “in-kind” donation if you don’t have a budget at all.

Our 2012 – 2013 season brings “Goldy and the Three Bears” and “Little Red Riding Hood” to life!

Available from Sept to November and February to June!

Contact Karen at kchristo61@gmail.com for more information or to reserve a date!

“If you want children to be intelligent, read them fairytales” – Albert Einstein

“Life itself is a wonderful fairytale” – Hans Christian Andersen

FCCT traveling repertory troupe, the “Cartable Characters” is looking for a few good actors (or actor wanna bees!) We perform 2 or 3 short, fun, easy scripts per season with room for improv, have variable performance dates, and satisfaction guaranteed when you entertain groups of laughing children.

What’s the catch? You need to have a flexible work schedule that allows for performing these fun fairytales during the day at school assemblies, or early evenings for family nights at schools. Rehearsals are once a week on Tuesdays, as needed to prepare for an upcoming performance, with breaks built in to accommodate individual scheduling needs.

This would not be a year-round commitment. Seasonal guidelines are being established:

• Summer – Our “development” time to prepare 3 new stories for the next “season,” with potential performances at summer programs using already established stories and actors. Rehearsals will be set as needed to train new actors.
• Fall – Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, will be open to school performances and therefore weekly rehearsals will be needed to prepare and perform.
• Winter – Nov. 1 to Jan. 1 – break time for us since this is when the main stage production is in full swing, and the holidays are too busy. No performances or rehearsals during this time.
• Spring – Jan. to June 1 – Potentially our busiest time performing at schools.

When to jump in? No time like the present! Summer would be a great time to get in on the new season. Contact us on the “Contact Us” page of this website to find out more and start “acting-up!”
