for the Arts, is pleased to announce a wide range of new theatre activity in
its new performing space at the Mayfield Village Civic Center, including its
first season of professional plays.

Fairmount Performing Arts Conservatory (FPAC), under the artistic direction
of Fred Sternfeld, cultivates the art of live theatre while providing
intensive actor training in its professional workshops. Additionally, by
establishing a dialogue with its audience and its community, FPAC reaches
out to people in our northeast Ohio community through performances,
educational offerings and future outreach programming.

live theatre professional productions that will include
A CHRISTMAS CAROL - AN EVENING WITH CHARLES DICKENS, starring Executive
Director, Tom Fulton and THE ODD COUPLE by Neil Simon, directed by Fred
Sternfeld.

The Conservatory offers programming both in performance and arts education.
 The educational arm of the conservatory was founded in 2004 as the
Fairmount Performing Arts Camp.  Now it its sixth year, Fairmount has
expanded the concept to include both educational programming and performance
to become a professional conservatory in partnership with Mayfield Village.
  FPAC will be producing a number of popular musicals and plays in its
Youth and Teen Theatre and Summer Camp initiatives as well.
