F.A.S.T: Friday Afternoon Student Theatre
F.A.S.T. is an experimental venue that explores the “process” through which theatre is created.
The program is part of the Department’s initiative to foster a performance culture at Montclair State that embraces multiple modes of creativity. Students write original work, explore innovative performance techniques, and experiment with new dramatic material. The possibilities for theatrical expression are almost limitless.
The F.A.S.T creative team will accept student proposals for the upcoming semester. Students will submit a project to be reviewed and considered by Artistic Directors. If approved, all directors will attend F.A.S.T’s general auditions to cast their show. The director is responsible for their rehearsal schedule up until opening in a Life Hall studio space with the support of the F.A.S.T team! F.A.S.T is an opportunity for student actors, directors, playwrights, and designers to develop and hone their artistic voice for self-expression.
