THE FRANKLIN ACADEMY THEATRE ART PROGRAM (FATA) IS THE UP-AND-COMING THEATRE PROGRAM AT FRANKLIN.

FRANKLIN ACADEMY IS A BOARDING SCHOOL FOR NEURODIVERGENT LEARNERS.

SINCE THE START OF FATA, STUDENTS HAVE COME OUT OF THEIR SHELL.

FATA, THOUGH JUST FOUNDED THREE YEARS AGO, IS AN AWARD-WINNING PROGRAM WITH AN EXTREMELY LOW BUDGET AND NO STAGE.

100% of the money raised will go to the budget of an independent capstone project for a senior in FATA. This project is putting on a production of Steel Magnolias the play. It is important that they get this budget because their production will be entered for awards. These awards are a rare opportunity, and for them to be given to neurodiverse students is a huge deal.
