The Once Upon a Time Players began in 1989 as a community project with Sigma, a local women's organization. Sigma wanted to provide an opportunity for the young children of Fond du Lac and the surrounding areas to participate in theatre. The theme of their Once Upon a Time Players has always been a fairy tale or well-known children's story. In 2002 FdLCT partnered with the Once Upon a Time Players. This was their first production with FdLCT.
