FASA is under the direction of Creative and Executive director Robin Wolaver, along side Musical director Bill Wolaver.
FASA is offered in tracks of specialized study. We request students come to FASA with at least one year of experience in a given field. Students must choose one specific area of study based upon their area of expertise. Please click below for a complete description of the courses offered for your area of study.

Musical Theater Arts Tracks
The drama track offers a one week option. For those participating in the dance and drama tracks for the entirety of FASA, a secondary track is required. Read to the right for more info.
Week One: July 10 – 18
Students will spend each day in their chosen track participating in classes designed to build technical skill, as well as prepare for the track performances at the end of week one.
Week Two: July 19 – 24
Students of all tracks converge to prepare for the final show.
Secondary Tracks
Piano, guitar, bass, drums, and drama offer a one week option not requiring a secondary track.
Students participating for the entirety of FASA in the drama, dance, piano, bass, drum or guitar tracks are required to choose a secondary track, as either a vocalist or as an orchestral instrumentalist.
The purpose of this configuration is to provide students an opportunity to hone their skills and perform individually in their primary track’s performance, while still allowing corporate participation in the final show, as a part of the choir or orchestra.
Week 1 students spend the majority of their time in their primary track preparing for week one’s track performances. For one hour each day students will participate in classes with their secondary track where they will finalize the parts they will be performing during week two.
Week 2 students spend the entirety of their time preparing for the final show in their secondary track in the choir or orchestra.
