Act 2: Expand & Elevate

Architect rendering of our upgraded facility at 1209 Hay Street

Over the past six years, CFRT has experienced dramatic growth across every program: summer camps have grown by 45%, studio classes by 89%, and mainstage attendance increased 20%. As we look to the future of live arts to Fayetteville and Cumberland County, it is clear that With More Space, We Will Serve More People.

This multi-million dollar project will expand upon Act 1 of our project, where we renovated the auditorium. It will add height to the building, creating dedicated classroom space, increasing the capacity and function of scenic and costume shops, and making dramatic improvements to the customer experience, including the creation of a dedicated 60+ space parking lot!! A rooftop event space will create additional capacity for private events, as well as more opportunity for evenings of everything from acoustic music, to comedy and gallery shows.

This incredible new building is a gathering place for our community, where every visit will inspire you to live artfully and seek out creative experiences. This is a place for you, where your ideas and aspirations come to life.

This stage is yours!
