The Inaugural 2027 FCT Nationals
December 30, 2026 – January 1, 2027 · Rosen Centre · Orlando, Florida
The Fellowship of Christian Theatrics invites school, church, and community theater troupes to the inaugural FCT Nationals — a national theatre event where troupes perform with excellence and compete with purpose.
The Format
- Each troupe performs a 15-minute cut of a musical.
- Troupes perform twice — Thursday, December 31 and Friday, January 1 — before seasoned adjudicators.
- Combined Day 1 and Day 2 scores determine final results.
- Every troupe receives detailed written evaluations plus verbal feedback.
Who Can Attend
- Students in grades 3rd through 12th, attending with a registered troupe.
- Typical troupes run 15–30 members — there’s no formal minimum, but be sure you have enough on your troupe to “tell the story.”
- Licensing for your musical (MTI, Concord, or other) is the director’s responsibility.
Beyond the Stage
Nationals is more than the performances: a Welcome Party with praise and worship, breakout workshops in dance, singing, and improv, custom trading pins, professionally videoed performances and action photos, and an Awards Show with a gospel presentation.
