Mission & Purpose 

Our Mission at The Fountain Inn Repertory Experience (F.I.R.E.) is to operate as  a non-profit Theatre located and operating in Fountain Inn, SC. We aim to focus on the study, performance, production, and education of Theatre to the members of our repertory companies and the community of the Upstate of South Carolina. We will also place an emphasis on the role Theatre has played and continues to play in our culture and tradition. All of this will be done through high-quality productions of Broadway and off-Broadway pieces to be sure that our artists and community members will participate in a learning experience that enhances their lives.

All productions will take place at our home theatre: The Fountain Inn Center for Visual & Performing Arts located at 315 North Main Street in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
