What is Fantasy Forum Actors Ensemble?
Fantasy Forum Actors Ensemble (FFAE) is a nonprofit theatre company with more than 60 years of history dedicated to entertaining, educating, and enriching audiences of all ages. We strive to present the highest quality live theatre for the young and the young at heart, creating memorable experiences that inspire imagination, connection, and a lifelong love of the performing arts.
For more than six decades, FFAE has brought family-friendly musical theatre to the community, creating an especially engaging experience where audience members may sit directly onstage and interact with performers. Each year, we present four productions at the Lesher Center for the Arts, welcoming thousands of patrons to experience the magic of live theatre together.
Our performances are scheduled throughout the day and into the early evening on weekends, making live theatre accessible for families and providing many audience members with their first theatrical experience. We also offer Friday performances for school groups, helping introduce young people to the joy, creativity, and community of live performance.
