Star Project
FMCT's Star Project
works to improve and enhance the quality of life for our target audience
through exposure to and participation in the arts, specifically through live,
theatrical, family-oriented performances.
Participants of the Star
Project include youth and adultswho are ecomomically disadvantaged;
physically, learning, or developmentally disabled; behaviorally and / or
emotionally at risk; and others who are generally underserved by the arts due
to ethnic orientation or regional location.
Fargo-Moorhead
Community Theatre means COMMUNITY. We would like everyone to become
involved in their community theatre. Therefore, we hope to open the doors
of accessibility for underserved community members in the arts. Through
touring performances, FMCT will bring live theatre directly to populations who
would be otherwise unable to paricipate due to geographic, financial, or
physical restraints.
Positive Project
FMCT's Positive
Project is providing opportunities for student involvement in theatre
through innovative and valuable education.
The Children's Studio Theatre was created with the purpose of encouraging the exploration of
student's creative potential while investigating the social and historical
contexts in which they live. The curriculum is designed to present
challenging avenues that students will follow throughout their lives.
One of FMCT's missions is to
make theatre and the arts accessible to people of all ages and abilities. As
part of that commitment, FMCT developed its POSITIVE project to give students
who are under-served by the arts the opportunity to attend Children's Studio
Theatre (CST) classes at partial, or no cost to themselves or their families.
The POSITIVE Project stands for Providing Opportunities for Student Involvement
in Theatre through Innovative and Valuable Education. Through POSITIVE, students who are; disabled,
economically disadvantaged, in foster care, immigrants/refugees, and those
students who are behaviorally or emotionally at risk, are given the opportunity
to apply for a scholarship to attend CST classes.
FMCT will grant POSITIVE
scholarships for each CST session offered during the school year. Because of
the limited number of scholarships available, recipients will be awarded
POSITIVE scholarships on a per-session basis, and will be re-evaluated at the end
of each session. Recipients will be chosen by FMCT's Education Director.
In order to be eligible for a scholarship, you
must attach a letter of recommendation from a teacher, cleric, or other
authority figure who knows your child. This letter should address the
applicants need for this scholarship, as well as the benefits they see this
program will have on the applicant.
The Positive Project
provides your child an outstanding opportunity to participate in the
arts!
