The FTA has donated nearly $100,000 to the theatre program since its inception.

  • Fund art education and cover the cost for students to attend performances in the Milwaukee area.
  • ​Annually provide three Wauwatosa East seniors a $1,000 scholarships to pursue college-level work in the performing arts.  Click here for more information.
