8 the play

FCT was proud to be  the 400th confirmed reading of 8 worldwide.

The cast of 8 performed 2 staged readings of 8 the play, that benefited the American Foundation for Equal Rights and Broadway Impact. The crowds responded amazingly to the show and the very educational talk back sessions that followed each performance highlighting the battle in America over marriage equality. FCT was bold in bringing an event like 8 to Fremont. Despite some objections, the overall reaction was overwhelmingly positive and compliments and thank you notes have poured into our email inbox. White FCT is still committed to bringing family friendly entertainment to the FCT stage regularly, more performances that are educational, entertaining, and possibly controversial like 8, certainly could be on the horizon in the future. Theatre can be so much more than comedy, songs and dance, it can educate and inform while entertaining. We thank all who supported this event.
