About Fort Heart Productions
Our Mission
Fort Heart Productions is a theatre and film production company which seeks to entertain and challenge audiences both on stage and screen mediums. We also operate performing arts classes & workshops to bolster the skill sets of East Coast talent.
Productions are predominantly low budget, with minimalist sets, props, bells and whistles.
This serves two purposes:
(1) an ease of production costs so profits can go to the artists
(2) an intentionally intimate and raw portrait of performances with our audiences.
All artistic collaborators are paid an honorarium or
are included in a profit share structure of productions.
