The Fairfield Theatre Company, a not-for-profit organization of arts professionals and community leaders dedicated to a simple premise - that the broadest spectrum of live entertainment and cultural exchange is essential to the vitality of our society. We believe that our quality of life depends on opportunities to get out, and come together in public places to enjoy art, music, drama, dance, all manner of creative and intellectual discourse, and to participate in these activities to the fullest.
To establish and sustain venues for the presentation of plays, concerts, lectures, artistic work- shops and exhibitions for the most diverse audience possible, as often as we possibly can. In this way we will strengthen our community; nurture, enrich, and enlighten the lives of those we touch; and make our world a better place one great performance at a time.
From our first season of plays in 2001 on the campus of Fairfield University, to the opening of StageOne in Downtown Fairfield in 2004, to a string of sold-out performances by major artists at the Klein Auditorium in Bridgeport, FTC has evolved into one of the region's most energetic and productive performing arts groups. FTC has presented over a thousand live performances to the delight of more than one hundred and fifty thousand patrons to date.
Our goal is to complete the transformation of 70 Sanford Street in downtown Fairfield, a former machine goods factory, into a year-round multi-venue arts and cultural center. The result will be a cultural magnet for our community, convenient to mass transportation, restaurants, schools, and all the amenities that Fairfield has to offer.
The Fairfield Theatre Company seeks support from individuals, foundations, and corporations who understand the importance of what we do, and will help underwrite our future growth. We rely on our Donors, Members, and Sponsors to help bridge the gap each year. FTC also receives significant support from the CT Commission on Culture and Tourism, Newman's Own Foundation, Fairfield County Community Foundation, and the CT Arts Endowment Fund.
