Theater Folx of Color

TFOC is moving from Facebook ⛟ –> Circle.so 💙

Our vision has outgrown what our Facebook Group can offer. Thank you to the 14K+ members who have made it such a special place over the years. The group now functions as an interactive archive. Our new homebase on Circle.so is on a completely private, safe space where we own our data, and where we can control the experience and our engagement.

Everyone, including our allies, are also invited to follow our LinkedIn page and signup for our newsletter to keep in touch.
