About
Flatbush Community Theater was founded by playwright Alexis Spiegel to provide theater education and space for artists in the community of Central Brooklyn. FCT is a place for artists and students to practice their craft and express their talent, vision, and ideas. Executive and Artistic Director
Our mission is to engage participants and audiences across age groups, identities, and socio-economic brackets. We are committed to providing a community art space that is equitable and accessible. Flatbush Community Theater forges relationships with several community organizations and has successfully piloted internship programs in local high schools such as Academy for College Prep, YCDHS, and Brooklyn Prospect Charter High School as part of our flagship program, Flatbush Theater Project. Flatbush Theater Project is a seasonal workshop of improvisational theater technique progressing into a workshop of playwriting, rehearsing and performing, for pre-teens and teens. Two of our students perform in FTP's culminating showcase of the Spring '22 cycle..
In fact, the decision to move forward and lease and construct the theater (1101 Church Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11218) was made last Spring most of all so that Flatbush Theater Project would have a brick and mortar home where students could truly experience theater as a space of freedom and possibility. Two veteran students helping to bring the black box to fruition.
That's also how the team was formed. Soleil Biyong came onboard in March 2022 as an associate producer to Flatbush Theater Project and is now producer to Flatbush Community Theater broadly. Kelah Winfield joined us as co-teacher to Flatbush Theater Project and is additionally Executive Assistant/ Line Producer to Flatbush Community Theater broadly.
