OUR MISSION

Friends of Theatre Arts (FTA) was organized by parents and friends of the Wauwatosa East High School theatre program in 2004. Its mission is to support the program with volunteer and financial assistance. Since its inception, FTA has raised funds for scholarships, theatre education, expert backstage support and theatre equipment needs.
