Mixed Magic Theatre invites the community to step into the frame for a special FIRE Community Portrait Session–a day of instant portraits, conversation, and support for the theatre’s ongoing programming.
FIRE (Framing Instant Relief and Empowerment) is a community portrait project that transforms the act of having your picture taken into a direct opportunity to give back. For this special session, participants will make a donation to Mixed Magic Theatre, with proceeds supporting the theatre and its programming. In return, participants will sit for two instant portraits made using vintage 4×5 cameras and instant film, with one print to take home.
The process is simple and personal: make a donation, step in front of the camera, and leave with a one-of-a-kind portrait. The instant-film format makes the experience immediate and tangible, creating a small photographic keepsake while connecting each portrait to a larger act of community support.
More than a portrait session, FIRE is a gathering—a chance to spend the day at Mixed Magic Theatre, see familiar faces, meet new ones, support local arts, and become part of an evolving portrait archive built through participation.
Session Booking Begins Monday, September 7 – Come light the FIRE and believe in Magic!
