Overview
The Community Theatre Division was one of the initial units that helped form the Florida Theatre Conference in 1955. Membership in Florida Theatre Conference allows its members to belong to the umbrella organization Florida Association of Community Theatres. This division sponsors two major activities periods during the year.
The annual FTC festival, which will be held October 31 - November 4, 2007, hosts several activities for the Community Theatre Festival. They are:
- The Community Theatre Festival - Community Theatres present their productions and compete against one another for an award of Superior. The winner of this competition represents the state of Florida at the Southeastern Theatre Conference, where it competes with the nine other states of SETC.
- Workshops for improving skills in production, direction, design, & acting skills.
