2011 GALA AND SEASON PREVIEW

February 11 & 12

Open to all current season subscribers

Appetizers and refreshments at 7pm
Entertainment begins at 8pm

Friday and Saturday night we are hosting our annual Gala, where we invite all our season ticket holders to a free night of food, beverages, and entertainment. This semi-formal event is our way of saying "thank you" to our subscribers, and giving them a sneak peek of scenes, songs, and staged readings from each of our upcoming productions for the entire 2011-2012 season.

WANT TO ATTEND? Of course you do! If you are a season ticket holder for 2011, make a reservation here - if you need to purchase a subscription (so you can attend the Gala) go here. Some season tickets will be available at the door. Either way, we do ask that you make a reservation.

Our staff of volunteers have been working overtime to make sure this is the most entertaining Gala ever! You'll see a lot of familiar faces and some new ones onstage presenting "gems" from the upcoming season. Couple that with some yummy appetizers and some beverages, and it adds up to a great night at NCTC! We hope to see you there!

SPECIAL EVENT AT NCTC

Almost, Maine
by John Cariani

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Friday, June 25th at 8:00pm
Tickets - $10 CASH ONLY
FOR RESERVATIONS EMAIL skranktankproductions@gmail.com

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend - almost - in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

Directed by KATIE WINE
