Foothills Community Theatre

Foothills Community Theatre Foothills Community Theatre is a volunteer-based, non-profit. Foothills Community Theatre began in 1972. We typically produce four shows each season.

Once a part of the McDowell Arts Council Association, we have been an independent entity since 1998. Our goal is to offer an entertaining and educational experience for all ages. Please check this website in the future for more details! We invite all members of our community to get involved with our shows! We always need extra hands, so even if acting is not your thing, you may enjoy running light

s or helping to build sets or costumes. If you would like more information, please send us an email at [email protected] or visit our website, www.FCTplays.org.

LaBeth Smith is part of the Foothills Community Theatre family and is participating in a Christian music competition. If you're led to support this talented young lady with your vote, she would be very thankful.

There has been so much that God has done in my life that I am a “Living, Breathing, Walking Testimony!” He has been so good to me that I can’t even begin to express my thankfulness and I will use every opportunity to Praise His Holy name!! Thank you so much for your support!

If you were out and about this weekend, chances are you caught a glimpse of some of our talented stars shining all across McDowell and Burke County! ✨

Foothills Community Theatre is incredibly proud of the many young performers who are part of our group that earned top spots at their schools and advanced to the Countywide Talent Show on Friday. Their hard work and courage truly paid off, and we can’t wait to share their performances with you—videos will be posted as they come in!

Keaton and Benjamin also had the special opportunity to take the stage with the legendary local band, Tanya and the Road Runnerz at the Drexel County Fair. What an unforgettable experience!

To kick things off, enjoy a few snippets from their performances last night—we think you’ll love every second. 🎶
