Program:
The Cape Fear Regional Theater presented an update that included good progress on the construction of their new building, the slate of shows for this next season, information about the new school outreach program and a warning about CFRT ticket scammers. The CFRT building now has a roof that was added last week, and they hope it will be ready for the first show of the season. The slate of shows include Crowns, Bright Star, Lightning Thief, One Man, Two Governors, Big Fish and Frozen. The CFRT is also planning summer camps and grade school outreach. Thanks for a great program!
