Fort Atkinson Community Theatre, Inc. (FACT) began as a group of individuals who gathered in the summer of 1962 to form a community theatre group. Prior to that time, theatre pieces were presented by church groups and others, but not as an organized body. About 25 people attended the first meeting and in November of that year the Fort Atkinson Community Theatre presented the play Harvey. Three months later the organization became incorporated. Since that first production, the Fort Atkinson Community Theatre has presented over 80 plays of all kinds, as well as three productions of the Blackhawk Pageant. Over the 40 year history of the theatre, thousands of people have not only attended these productions but also participated in them. In 1969, FACT created a scholarship fund called the "Comstock Memorial Scholarship." The scholarship is awarded to graduating high school seniors from Fort Atkinson High School who demonstrate an interest in continuing their education in the arts. The scholarship is funded completely from revenues generated from performance admissions. FACT also contributes revenue from its plays for Fort Atkinson High School Auditorium upgrades, the most recent being $8000 toward new fly rails. We encourage and welcome any with a love of theatre to become a member of FACT. When casting plays, FACT opens its auditions to anyone who shows interest. All are welcome to learn about set construction, lighting, sound and makeup.
