Due to the Coronavirus FFTP had been dark.

But that changed during the summer of 2020

We presented five live SAFE shows

from July through December in 2020.

On March 8th, 2021 we began our second season

with a new theme–WE PERSIST!

And a fabulous show–

See what the New York Times had to say:

“Two Playwrights Go Camping”

FFTP has…a double bill that should be catpnip for connoisseurs of theatrical camp. The program includes the Tennessee Williams one-act comedy “Lifeboat Drill” set on the Queen ELizabeth II, and Christopher Durang’s “For Whom The Southern Belle Tolls,” a wicked parody of “The Glass Menagerie” in which Laura becomes Lawrence, who collects swizzle sticks. Durang and the actress Carroll Baker are supposed to turn up for a post Q & A. (Elizabeth VIncentelli)
