Local entertainment staple Fayette County Community Theatre (FCCT) is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest venture – FayCo PlayCo. FayCo PlayCo is an innovative approach to theatre programming, focusing on shows that provide an intimate and immersive experience for audiences. Material will be carefully curated to cater to a broad range of tastes and interests, ensuring that there is something for everyone in the community to enjoy. By taking these productions to different areas and utilizing venues in communities throughout Fayette County, the program aims to foster a deeper connection between the performers and the audience. They will be producing full-length plays, One Act plays, skits that will oftentimes have smaller casts and simpler sets compared to the familiar plays FCCT has produced. This initiative is a testament to the theatre’s commitment to cultural enrichment and accessibility, bringing the magic of live performances to even more residents.
