Is Flying Machine a professional or community theatre?

We are poised somewhere between the two in a category we like to call "Emerging Professional".

How can I find out about auditions?

Through this website, or by getting on our mailing list. If you know of another website where we can post our audition, performance, and class notices, please let us know!

What kind of plays do you produce?

We're open to any genre, as long as the scripts are great. Thus far we've been producing contemporary American dramas and comedies.

Where are you located?

Currently, we are a Resident Company at Common Ground Theatre in Durham. Flying Machine, like most small theatre companies, does not have a home of its own. We're vagabonds, producing our shows in a variety of venues across the Triangle. Our mailing address is FMTC, 613 Thistlegate Tr., Raleigh NC 27610.

Is Flying Machine a part of Raleigh Charter High School?

We've recently developed a relationship with RCHS where we make use of the drama classroom for auditions, rehearsals, classes, and sometimes performances.

Are you hiring?

FMTC has no full or part-time employees at this time. Everyone is considered a freelancer or independent contractor. We hope to hire permanent staff in the near future.

Do you accept unsolicited scripts? Yes. Send them to FMTC, 613 Thistlegate Tr., Raleigh NC 27610. We cannot return them, however.

Are your actors paid?

When possible, actors are paid a modest stipend.

Are crew members paid?

When possible, stipends are given to Directors, Stage Managers, and Designers.

Are donations tax-deductible?

Yes. Flying Machine is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization. If you're interested in making a contribution, please check to see if your employer has a matching gifts program. Many area companies, such as AT&T, GlaxoSmithKline, Nortel, IBM and Eli Lilly have such programs. Contact your payroll dept. to find out. If they do, just fill out your portion of the gift-matching form and include it with your donation.
