All proceeds will go directly towards funding the Capital Region Festival of Theatre, CRFT. Begun in August of 2024, the organization’s main thrust is to offer exposure to the general community of the number of theatrical venues and events that occur within the region throughout the year available to all ages, races, ethnicity, and genders. This promotion of events will culminate with an annual theater festival, this year, to be held Friday, June 13 through Sunday, June 15 and will include participation by many of the over 100 theater companies, 6 regional venues and 100s of volunteers all involved in some aspect of theatrical life in the region. All events will be free and open to the public, and will spread from Ft. Salem Theater to theREP, Sand Lake Center for the Arts, Schenectady Light Opera Company, Russell Sage College and the University at Albany.
