Trailblazers On Stage

As winter winds down rather quickly, we here at The PORT are starting to get excited about the spring activities for our Trailblazers program. March's "On Stage" program will include a series of workshops with professional actors from the new Freeport Shakespeare Festival. Teens will have the chance to work on improv skills, practice reading scripts, play acting games, and more! If you're a performer already, or looking for a chance to learn more about acting, this is the month for you.

Trailblazers is open to anyone in grades 6-8, and will meet March 11th, 18th, and 25th. The cost for the month of activities is just $15; register through FRCE!

Sitting Pretty 2010

Here at The PORT, we're starting to get excited for this year's "Sitting Pretty: A Chairity Auction!" This year's event promises to be bigger and better than last year, with a variety of rockers, dining chairs, and stools. Photos of artists hard at work have started to trickle in, and we wanted to share those with you:Abby Latulippe at work on "Heart Dreaming Chair"

Looking for more "Sitting Pretty"? Keep checking our online photo album for chair photos -- we'll post them as we receive them!

Delectable Delights

Yesterday was the kick-off to The PORT's new baking program: Delectable Delights. A mixed group of teens from the high school and middle school took over the ping pong table, turning it into a baking kitchen. The result? One big loaf and four mini loaves of made-from-scratch banana bread. Delicious!Missed out this time? Join us any Tuesday in February for more baking fun!
