The Theatre Department has been busy!
Production News:
We hope you caught our production of "My Name Is Rachel Corrie." We had an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience.

Our next performances will be March 22 and 23. We will be presenting an evening of three one-act plays, written and directed by FAC alumnus David Garcia. You may have seen the staged readings of his plays in May. Here are three of those plays, fully produced. One of the goals of the theatre department is to do more production work, using after-school rehearsals, guest directors, and casts from both classes. Be a part of our first step in a new direction!
College News:
For the first time, three of our advanced seniors will be participating in Unified Auditions in New York City. Teri will be taking Anna Barry, Tiffany Bunch and JP McLaurin to NYC to audition for such schools as Juilliard, University of Minnesota, Emerson, The Hartt School at the University of Hartford, and Cincinnati Conservatory of Music's School of Drama. It is an honor for these students to go to Unified Auditions, supported by the FAC. They have been through a rigorous and demanding selection process, as well as an intense period of preparation. We wish them well, along with our other seniors (Claire McCreight, Eren Brock, Courtney Weber and Cameron Treiper), who are also auditioning for competitive BFA programs across the nation.
Good luck, seniors!
Guest Artists
We have had three amazing guest artists so far this year: Noelle Monteleone (makeup), Lisa Biggs (voice-over), and Fulton Burns (stage combat). Noelle and Fulton are alumni of the FAC theatre program, and Noelle and Lisa are both residents of Greenville. All three took time to share their expertise and professional experiences with our students.
Lisa Biggs will be at the FAC for a six-part workshop on the art of voice-over. You have heard her on such projects as "Toy Story 3," "The Simpsons" and "Veggie Tales." By the end of her time with us, each student will have a recording of their work.
Noelle Monteleone returned for the second year to introduce the beginning students to their makeup kits. We hope to have her back later this year to learn some advanced techniques.
Fulton Burns, graduate of the dance department and now stage combat instructor at the University of Southern Alabama, gave a workshop on knives. The students learned correct safety technique when using the weapon as well as a bit of combat choreography.
