Back In The Spotlight!
2021-2022 Theatre Season
LIVE THEATRE IS BACK! I have been lucky enough to consider The Fine Arts Association my 'home away from home' for over 30 years and last year was certainly rough. While we are not completely out of the woods yet, we are on the right track, and I couldn’t be more excited! If you are a returning patron of FAA, I thank you for your continued support of the performing and visual arts. If this is your first introduction to The Fine Arts Association, I welcome you and I invite you to explore all of our offerings. We encourage you to join our family, and share your family with us. We will be united through the arts.
Welcome Back!

This is an exciting new venture as we combine our Theatre Department with our Dance Department! A teenage Alice finds that she doesn't quite know where she belongs and finds it difficult to navigate the treacherous waters of high school. Defeated and sad, her inner artistic self appears in a mirror and drags Alice through to the magical world of Danceland. The odd inhabitants of Danceland will hopefully help Alice learn how to get in touch with and release her inner artistic nature.
