Once, just once, when I was starting out in this job, I made the mistake of thinking others wouldn’t warm to a group I loved. Because of this, it took me several years to get around to programming them. It turned out to be the biggest tour ever done in Alaska and...

Today marks the 70th anniversary of FCA’s first performance. Started in 1947 in answer to a community need, residents recognized the importance of arts in building a community. Twelve years later, AK became a state. I joke that it’s not a coincidence but...

Ever since they started, I’ve been a fan of ACI. There’s something about the whole program… the way it started – in search of a teacher for ardent students. The philosophy – teach, study, but also get them out to have fun and enjoy the great Alaska outdoors. But it’s...
Whenever FCA brings an artist to Fairbanks we also try to create great connections between artists and community, and while we’re confident that everyone will enjoy this performance, making sure that teens get to see them, to work with them, to interact with...
I visited a town once where there was no arts community in evidence. No live music, no art, a virtual cultural wasteland. I was so glad to come home where creativity abounds and the arts thrive. They make our community come alive. They ensure interaction, vibrancy,...
It’s Thursday night and we have a show. Backstage, the artists and I are huddled by Scott our Stage Manager on com with Jack, our House Manager. “Were holding for 10 minutes” he says. We wait. “we’re holding for 5 minutes,” he says again. We’re waiting for the...
