Company History
Fantasy
Theatre Factory is a professional touring theatre created in New York in
1977, by Ed Allen and Mimi Schultz, performing artists and teachers. The
company expanded, incorporated as a Florida Not-for-Profit in 1982, and has
toured nationally, internationally and the State of Florida since that
time.
As a
touring theatre, we are uniquely different from housed theatres in that our
audiences do not come to our theatre space; we take theatre to our
audience. This gives particularly underserved communities the best access
to our programs. We perform in rural and inner city schools, theatres,
parks, hospitals, community centers, practically everywhere. Sets, props,
costumes - even actors must be able to travel for extended periods of time.
In this manner, Fantasy Theatre presents more than 400 Florida programs
reaching over 150,000 people each year. Our mission is to make more quality
theatre programs available to more people.
Fantasy
Theatre’s programs are an evolution of more than eighteen years of
performing and teaching in Florida. Company founders/directors are
recognized for their exceptional talent and entertaining programs, and also
as effective teachers and mentors in a wide variety of performance skills
and arts administration. They have taught at the Ringling Brother’s Clown
College, at Florida Professional Theater Assoc. (FPTA) workshops,
colleges, schools and international festivals. For the 98/99 season, Mimi
Schultz was awarded “Arts Educator of the Year” for our Dade County programs
for children.

The
company is housed in South Miami-Dade County with offices/warehouse and
rehearsal space. An additional warehouse space of 2000 sq. ft. has been
rented for the 2008/2009 season for rehearsals. |
