FTW operates as a charitable institution, enhancing the cultural life of children and the community as a whole. 

The goal of FTW is to educate, inspire and provide an alternative activity during leisure time which will promote self-esteem and discipline, while helping to develop life skills such as good listening, keen observation, and sensitivity to the human condition. Their program hopes to imbue students with a love of learning and reading, while honing their thought processes and tools of expression and imagination.

The plays and musicals produced are chosen to offer opportunities to experience a wide range of materials in a variety of styles and genres. FTW productions are designed to work symbiotically, where the ideas and skills taught in classes are mastered in performance.
