Franklin Area Children’s Theatre (FACT)
- “FACT” is an offspring of the Franklin Opera House in Franklin, NH. For years now it has provided a positive performing arts experience for children in grades one through eight. It is also an incredible educational experience for the teenage interns who are hired to work for the program. These teenagers work under the guidance of the Artistic Director, Jule Finley, to learn how to teach children to perform. They take what they learn, plus their own theater experience and work with groups of children. The result is amazing! Each camp ends with a public performance on the stage of the Opera House where the campers demonstrate what they have learned. Musical shows like “The Magic In Me” and “Willy Wonka Junior” are typical each year. For more information, visit www.franklinoperahouse.org and click on FACT.
