A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

 

FLOT is a terrific organization and a community treasure.  It depends entirely on its Board of Directors to keep it constantly moving toward the achievement of its mission – to present quality musical theater to the residents of Fairbanks and surrounding areas. We have many responsibilities:

 

1. We have productions to support and supervise for quality control. 2. We have a responsibility to raise funds to finance our productions. 3. We must market ourselves creatively, in order to attain recognition for FLOT and sell lots and lots of tickets. 4. We have a responsibility to deepen the talent base of our community by offering educational programs and community outreach activities - like the FLOT Showcase and FLOT, Jr. 5. We have facilities and equipment and sets, props and costumes to store and oversee.  Such a lot of exciting work to do!

 

Fortunately, we have programs already in place for most of these activities and we rely on our wonderful volunteers who are willing to donate time and effort to keep FLOT dynamic and to see it move forward. This is an exciting time for us. We are looking to the future and are even entertaining the possibility of building our own theatre and rehearsal area.

If you were lucky enough to attend our last three main stage production's I’m sure you enjoyed seeing musical theatre at its best: THE GONDOLIERS, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, and MAN OF LA MANCHA.

And there is more, for I urge you not to miss our upcoming Fall 2007 production of OKLAHOMA! and SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL in Spring 2008 .

Thank you to our many contributors for your generosity and continued support of FLOT.  We invite you to come to our shows and share the joy of live musical theatre with us, as an audience member and, perhaps, as a much needed volunteer. If you wish to serve in some way please contact us at 456-FLOT. See you at the theatre!
