Once upon a time, in the frosty frontier of Alaska, also known as AK, nestled amid totem poles and tundra, a group of extraordinary kids were staging their own version of the Northern Lights. They weren't ordinary Alaskan children, no siree! They were the quirky, quick-witted, and quintessentially Alaskan "Artic Thespians!" Imagine a group of Eskimo-kids turned drama-divas, swapping their snow-shoes for tap ones! These were the kids who traded sleds for stages, transforming frozen landscapes into magical theatrical wonderlands. As different as a caribou is from a polar bear, each one of them was unique. They showcased their talent with as much enthusiasm as a grizzly catching a salmon! Meet the group's leader, Bumblebee Billy. Now, you might be wondering, why Bumblebee in icy Alaska? Well, Billy was as buzzing and energetic as the busiest bee you could ever meet! His striped sweater was his trademark, and his words painted pictures more colorful than the Aurora Borealis. "Brr-ace yourself for the biggest laughter storm!" he'd say, his eyes twinkling brighter than the stars above. Billy could transform any ordinary Sunday school play into a Broadway-worthy performance, making even the most grumpy snowman giggle! And that's the world of the Arctic Thespians. A place where laughter was louder than a howling blizzard, and where imagination ran wilder than a pack of wolves! These Alaskan kids could warm up the coldest winter night with their fiery determination and electrifying performances. So, let's throw on our parkas and join the Arctic Thespians. For in the vast, chilly expanse of AK, the theater is alive with the sound of children's laughter and applause.

Since 1973, the Sitka Fine Arts Camp (SFAC) has been providing Alaskan youth with a unique opportunity to explore the arts. With many remote communities in the state, young people often have limited or no access to quality arts programs. It is SFAC’s mission to provide these youth with the chance to gain exposure and training in the arts. SFAC has grown into a program of national recognition, with over one thousand students attending annually from Alaska and beyond. Young people are now able to interact with professional artists and gain a greater appreciation for the arts. It is clear that SFAC’s mission of providing access to the arts has been successful and is continuing to make a difference in the lives of many.
