Fantasy Theatre Factory at the Sandrell Rivers Theater
Fantasy Theatre Factory (FTF) is a 501(c)3 Not-for-Profit Theater, established in 1978 and incorporated in 1982. FTF is the managing operator of the Sandrell Rivers Theater (SRT), a state of the art black box theater in Miami. FTF also has an extensive, state-wide and international touring operation.
With over 35 years of excellence in the arts, Fantasy Theatre Factory is the gold standard for professional theater in South Florida. FTF places its most significant programmatic emphasis on Theater for Young Audiences (TYA); FTF TYA programs utilize professional adult performers who provide quality cultural programming for children and family audiences. FTF's TYA programs place a primary focus on childhood literacy and ecology. Other focus areas of programming include fitness, history, diversity, self-esteem, peer pressure, and bullying prevention. FTF also produces cultural arts workshop residency programs that serve at-risk youth, children with disabilities, and general population students.
In addition to its TYA programming, FTF also offers a robust programming lineup for general populations, featuring something for everyone with its diverse new programs at the Sandrell Rivers Theater, including a bi-monthly film screening series entitled Film@SRT; a bi-monthly live music series entitled Music@SRT; an art exhibition series, which aims to provide South Florida artists with greater exposure and visibility allowed Art@SRT; and a new play competition, where playwrights can have their new works performed as staged readings in front of live audiences, entitled New Year, New Works! (NYNW).
FTF also provides theater rentals at the Sandrell Rivers Theater, for diverse community organizations to perform and present. The Sandrell Rivers Theater has three beautiful performance spaces, the Main Stage Black Box Theater, the Dance Rehearsal Studio, and the Multipurpose Room; these state-of-the-art, diverse spaces provide areas for companies of any size budget.
FTF also produces world-class special event entertainment. FTF specialty acts include jugglers, stilt-walkers, magicians, balloon artists, uni-cyclists, puppeteers, giant puppets, strolling interactive characters, and much more!
Each year FTF produces well over 500 programs that reach over 150,000 people all across South Florida, the entire state, and internationally.
