  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.
