Birmingham Festival Theatre

In the spring of 1972, three young Birmingham thespians—Carl Stewart, Randy Marsh, and Vic Fichtner—entered a new phase in their theatrical lives. After chafing under the artistic limitations of the area's production environments, they picked up the pieces of Bill Ozier's Actors Studio and began a venture they called Birmingham Festival Theatre.
