Fortney Enterprises has maintained the mission statement to produce and direct clean, funny and very entertaining shows for all family members to see.
9500 people have attended our performances over the past five years.
We took two scenes from the hospital play and performed a 30 minute skit for a heath seminar at the YWCA for City Council of Aging in 2002.
We also have produced three radio shows. We rewrote three of the original plays and adapted them to radio. It has been broadcasted on WLYV in Fort Wayne 2002 and this spring on WYLL in Chicago, as well as New Jersey (2004). "And the next president... is?", "So...you’re in the hospital" and "Is this the right restaurant’?" was recorded on CD’s and cassette tape, where they are available for sale at each production.
In January of 2004, we developed and are still developing to our company Theatre on the Go. This designated group will go out and provide entertainment, by doing one of our plays at various events/parties. We base our rates on party size and location.
We will continue to write comedy plays in the future. Currently, we are working on play #7 for production in the spring of 2006.
We are proud of Fortney Enterprises and the reputation that we have been able to achieve. We wish to share our love of the theatre, by reaching out and letting others come and enjoy our plays.
