When FCFS was founded in 2018, we had a vision to empower the entertainment community on the First Coast by helping the future stars in the community gain experience, valuable knowledge about the industry and the craft of being a great entertainer.
They began with monthly showcases featuring ten young artists between the ages of eight and eighteen performing three songs and there would be a “special featured guest” performer at each showcase. This became very popular drawing packed houses at various local venues and raising some funds for what was next.
The plan was to host a Tom Jackson Productions workshop in June of 2020, however, due to the pandemic everything was put on hold until spring of 2022. Now back up and running, FCFS will be hosting our first of what we hope will become many workshops! On January 21st and 22nd 2023 it’s a Stage Performance with Amy Wolter.
