Meet the Staff!!! Part 6

I'm on a roll FTF fans! This is the FTF Office Guru back again to introduce another key member of the Fantasy Theatre Factory office staff. Get ready to meet our hard-working production manager, Larry Fields!





My name is Larry Fields, I'm the production manager for FTF and one of our main actors and teachers. I spend my days at work, making schedules, answering phones, dancing the chicken dance, making copies, helping to write scripts, wearing wigs, teaching classes, helping to write grants, writing emails, singing songs by Justin Beiber and Hannah Montanna, making sure we have all our technical supplies for our shows, setting up sets, pretending to be a spooky tree, ordering supplies, making props, juggling painting sets, researching show ideas, doing magic, and more. As you can see, I have a very serious job, with no silliness at all.

Meet the Staff!!! Part 5

Hey there FTF fans! I hope you don't think I have forgotten you! This Guru has had a lot to do here at FTF but I think it is time for you to hear about one of the most important members of the FTF team. This awesome lady's name is Mimi Schultz!
WoW! What is my job? Seems like...just about...everything! I research, select and direct the shows that Fantasy Threatre produces. That means I get to have fun watching the actors in rehearsals. As Artistic Director, I make suggestions to the actors to help them interpret their acting roles. My job is to help them become better actors and to help the show look like the professional company that we are. I'm lucky because our actors are very talented and hard working. That doesn't mean it's easy for them - they just work that much harder!

My other jobs include grant writing, thinking up new programs for Fantasy Theatre and even sewing costumes - when needed! I do whatever the company needs me to do to put on a great show for you - our audience!
