It remains one of the very few theatres whose performances use students as
actors, assistant directors, backstage crew and technicians. The theatre
offers classes, productions, and community outreach programs for young people
ages 3 ½ - 18. FLCT continues to provide the community and visitors to
the area a source of enrichment and enjoyment in the cultural arts and to
provide opportunities for young people to participate in classes, productions
and creative dramatics exercises, regardless of economic, cultural, or ethnic
backgrounds.
