Join Lees-McRae Summer Theatre for “Passport Please!,” an exciting adventure that teaches children about the diversity and beautiful cultures that make up the world. This new interactive musical, written by Janet Barton Speer and John Thomas Oaks, the creators of “The Denim King” and “Screen Test,” is full of exciting original music and colorful characters from every corner of the globe, and is perfect for young audiences. Fascinating facts about the countries are revealed as the children tap their toes and clap to the magic of musical theater.
Performances take place in the Theatre Arts Building, across from the historic bell tower and Banner Elk Presbyterian. Tickets available at the door.
