We are so thankful for the generous support from individuals and corporations who have sponsored or donated to FTE to keep our shows returning every summer. We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, dedicated to bringing live theatre to the community. FTE is a sustained community effort, and we are grateful for your help!

FTE is honored to play to consistently full audiences, yet ticket sales cover just half of the expenses of performing to thousands of people each summer. Everything that we do is possible because of our sponsors and loyal fans who join us each summer to "play in the park after dark!" 

If you would like to support FTE without becoming a sponsor or making a donation, there are other ways to help that are super important. Join our team of Volunteers! Come see the shows! Bring your friends and help spread the word! 

Every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for your support!
