Passport Series: Lights, Camera, Imagination!
Get ready to explore the world of playwriting and theater with the Passport Series, an exciting eight-week journey into creativity and self-expression! Hosted by Rick’s Place in partnership with The Cape Fear Regional Theater (CFRT), this program invites military kids to unleash their imagination, sharpen their storytelling skills, and collaborate to craft an original play. Led by professional instructors, participants will write, rehearse, and perform their masterpiece for family and friends at the end of the series.
With sessions tailored to two age groups (7–10 and 11–14), this program is perfect for young creators who love storytelling or are ready to discover the magic of theater. Along the way, they’ll gain confidence, hone their voices, and make unforgettable memories!
