Registration will only be considered complete after both signupgenius registration and payment is received. ***This event filled in less than 24 hours so I’ve reached out to the theater to see if we have any options. If this event is a success I would love it to be annual with the possibility of moving it to a theater that is farther afield, but that can accommodate a larger group. Also, a separate film event for older girls is in the works.
