Cultivating a Love of Arts

FACT is an offspring of the Franklin Opera House, Franklin Footlight Theatre and the FHS Players. The program covers basics in theater training and performance art, and culminates in a group production at the end of each camp. FACT provides a positive experience for hundreds of children in grades one through eight. It’s also an incredible educational experience for the teenage interns who are hired to work for the program. Working under the guidance of the Artistic Director they 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!

 Registration is CLOSED for 2026. See us Next Year!

FACT Performance Camp addresses different areas of theatrical performance- dance, music, and character creation. Students work with teen interns to learn skills to help improve focus, concentration, observation and other skills that will help them become stronger performers.

The 2026 Camp culminates with two performances of Disney's "Aladdin JR" on July 31 & August 1 at 7:00 pm.

 An essential component of the FACT program is the involvement of teen mentors, who assist and support the director in camp activities. Many of these teen mentors have been campers in the past, and are very active in the Franklin High School drama program as well as the Franklin Footlight Community Theatre. Their close interaction with the younger children is a highlight of the campers' experience.

Applications are CLOSED for 2026.
