Quinn's Fundraiser for FTF!

Hey, y'all! It's Quinn. :^) I'm an actor with Fantasy Theatre Factory, with my first show being this past October's touring show, Little Monster Tales!  This spooktacular production brought scary stories to make kids smile all over Florida!

All touring shows have a host of free performances for communities in all parts of the state. We perform in libraries, schools, theaters, and even parks! There's nothing that compares to seeing the joy and magic in a child's eyes light up while you're on stage- especially if it's the first time they're seeing live theater. And all of that wouldn't be possible without the generous donors and sponsors we have.

Theater is great for developing minds. It allows children to more easily understand the world around them. It helps them to understand themselves, how to empathize with others, how to communicate better, and can even deal with environmental themes, as a lot of FTF's shows emphasize. While all of our shows are fun, they're educational, too!

So, come on! Join me in supporting the enrichment of the minds of the future, and give what you can this Give Miami Day. We couldn't do it without people like you!

About Fantasy Theatre Factory (FTF): FTF serves all of Miami-Dade County and beyond with inspiring, high-quality live theatre both on tour and at our home venue, the Sandrell Rivers Theater in Miami’s Liberty City.

On tour, FTF brings the magic of live Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) directly to schools, parks, community centers, and afterschool programs—reaching children and families across South Florida. Most of these programs are offered free of charge to low-income and at-risk communities, ensuring that every child has access to the arts. #FTF4All

FTF’s touring lineup inspires young audiences through engaging and educational productions that bring learning to life. Our environmental shows, such as Eco-Challenge, invite children to become eco-heroes in a fun, interactive gameshow format. Literacy-incentive shows like Scrooge! A Fractured Christmas Carol, The Mis-Adventures of Pinocchio, and our newest production, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, inspire creativity while promoting a lifelong love of reading. Heroes In My House: A Magical Journey Through Black History celebrates cultural pride and historical achievement through music and storytelling. In addition to great performances, FTF offers cultural arts residency programs that include serving children, teens and adults with disabilities through program partnerships with the City of Hialeah, YMCA of South Florida and others, and afterschool residency programs at schools like Miami Gardens Elementary, and others where students explore creativity through theatre performance.

At the Sandrell Rivers Theater,  there's an exciting mix of programs for all ages and interests. From The Moth StorySLAM, a beloved monthly community storytelling event, to the CAP @ SRT (Cultural Arts Partnership) program—which uplifts diverse artists and organizations in theatre, music, dance, and Spanish & Creole-language programming—FTF ensures that South Florida’s cultural diversity shines on stage. FTF also produces an immersive Summer Theatre Arts Camp for underserved youth, where most participants receive full scholarships.

Each year, FTF produces over 500 live programs, reaching more than 150,000 people across South Florida, the state, and internationally. Through these initiatives, Fantasy Theatre Factory continues to make the arts accessible, educational, and enriching for all.

As state and local governments cut funding for arts programs, your support is more important now than ever. Thank you for your support on this Give Miami Day!
