Foulds Theater

In addition to shows that afford opportunities for actors of color and discourse on the Black experience in America, under Bill Taylor’s tutelage, Theatre Conspiracy has pioneered efforts to produce plays written by female playwrights and that provide strong female characters. Going forward, it will be embracing programming derived from fringe festivals.

Renowned for his visionary approach to artmaking, local artist David Hatchett possessed a keen ability to invent new methods of artistic expression. Notwithstanding his recent passing, Hatchett's legacy continues to grow. On June 7th, family, friends and ardent admirers will gather in the Foulds Theatre Gallery at the Alliance for the Arts for the first exhibition of David's work since his death in March.

So many people missed out on the Clown Bar in 2022 that Artistic Director Bill Taylor has decided to revive the show this November (9-26). Once more, Taylor is converting the Foulds Theatre into a seedy night club where burlesque performer Blinky Fatale will try to seduce her ex, Happy Mahoney, if she can just get him to forget about avenging the murder of his little brother Timmy.

Taking place June 1st through the 4th, the inaugural Fringe Fort Myers festival features nine shows in three theaters. Tom Hall shines a spotlight on three acts to look forward to.
