What’s Happening in the Academy?

Veterans Day — “Play in a Day Camp”
November 11, 2026

Join us for our inaugural On the Boulevard Veterans Day “Play-in-a-Day Camp”. Students ages 5-15 will spend the day making and performing their own original play! Through games, movement, and creative collaboration, students will bring characters from their imagination to life on the big stage. No prior performance experience is required; just a big imagination and a desire to have fun. Throughout the day, students will build confidence, practice teamwork, develop public speaking skills, and most importantly, have fun. Perfect for students who love performing and want to learn more about the creative process. At the end of the camp day, students will perform their original works for each other.

A Christmas Carol

Adapted by Cherie Evans
Based on the work by Charles Dickens

On one magical Christmas Eve, hard-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge is swept through past, present, and future- a journey that just might change his life forever. Along the way, he must discover that kindness, generosity, and connection are the truest treasures of all. Adapted especially for FPCTA and developed through workshops with our creative community, this original retelling by Fantasy Kid and local playwright Cherie Evans brings fresh imagination, warmth, and theatrical sparkle to the VBC stage for 37 years!
