From pallets to a pirate ship, your donations are helping the show come to life! Thank you to everyone who donated wooden pallets, to our volunteers and staff for transporting them, and to everyone still reaching out! The set crew was hard at work this weekend forming the pirate world, this close up teaser is just a hint of the massive and impressive set being built!! A huge shoutout to Dan Thompson, Graham Parker, and everyone bringing it to life and making sure the set and world are safe and fun to explore.

Come see the finished design when PETER AND THE STARCATCHER opens soon!!! Friday April 24 - Sunday May 3. Saturday April 25 @2:30 pm is our special sensory friendly performance, and Saturday May 2 @ 7:30 pm is our special Pirate Night performance!

The R&B Used Books cats, Dobby and The Darkness, are double checking the dates of the show so they don't miss out on PETER AND THE STARCATCHER!

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!
Sensory friendly/relaxed performance for PETER AND THE STARCATCHER!

Saturday April 25th at 2:30 PM we will be featuring a special sensory friendly/relaxed performance of our highly anticipated show PETER AND THE STARCATCHER!

With sensory friendly/relaxed performances nothing about the story will be changed, but during the show, the house lights above you will remain on at about half level through the entire performance. We have also modified all of our sounds to be a bit quieter, and the actors will be adjusting their volume and larger acting choices accordingly!

This type of show is perfect for people who may have a hard time with crowds, sensory needs, auto-immune needs, neurodivergent needs, disability needs, and any other needs that might be difficult in a full house setting. Even if you just prefer a matinee on a Saturday, this showing is intended for everyone!

Our family sensory friendly/relaxed performances are also perfect opportunities to introduce younger family members to live theatre!

During this show seating is choose-your-own-seating, and we emphasize the option for standing, moving, talking, eating, and anything else that you may need. This is a judgment-free zone and we want everyone to be able to enjoy the show in the best way you can! That said, we ask that you do not approach the stage - this is for your safety and the safety of our cast and crew.

If you feel you need a break, you are welcome to use our swan room, which is being designated as a break room for the performance. There are sensory tools available there, as well as earplugs and a few seats.

If you have any questions or need anything, we will have several volunteers posted around the auditorium that would be more than happy to help!

We look forward to bringing you the 7th sensory friendly/relaxed performance!

Dobby and The Darkness, the bookstore cats, are so excited to be collaborating with FCP on PETER AND THE STARCATCHER!

We are partnering up with R&B Used Books in Grand Blanc for our upcoming high season adventure! Stay tuned for more photo shoots with R&B Used Books, the book store cats, and our cast as we team up to share a beloved book adapted for the stage!

Start your spring break off by visiting R&B Used Books! They have a plethora of books old and new to Kickstart your summer reading. If you are looking for custom bookmarks, shirts, mugs, car coasters, and more, they can help you out as well! This group of people are genuinely so nice and incredible members of the community (recently they helped with Fun Home at Flint Community Players as well!), so be sure to stop by and show them your love and support! Tell them Flint Community Players sent you 😘

Happy Opening Night to our collaboration partners at The Intrepid Theatre for their production of BLACKBIRD!

Did you know/remember? The Good Beans Cafe was home to Flint City Theatre, so Intrepid finding their home with a beloved hometown business is so great to see! As the owner put it last night "we are breathing theatrical life back into the Good Beans Cafe stage!" So, when you see the show, know that you are supporting Intrepid, Good Beans Cafe, Flint actors and artists, and supporting a beloved pillar of theatre in the area!

Break a leg friends, and thank you for helping tell a wide variety of stories! There is so much incredible theatre in Flint, we are so grateful to be a part of this community of artists!

Be sure to snag your tickets! BLACKBIRD is rated for mature audiences!
