Weekend Plans

Friday evening (tonight, the 19th) is our second annual awards show. Kind of like the Oscars, but for NCTC. NCTC actors, directors, etc. vote on the winners. Actually, in the past they used to have awards shows. They stopped for whatever reason and returned last year.

Chaz Ferguson has done a great job organizing the entertainment for the show. It's full of original skits and lots of comedy. The cast is Jeff Allen, Kacy Pollak, Judie Hardin, Samantha Johnson, Sarah Jordan, Susan Patterson, JohnPaul Phillips, Ryan Bermingham, Brian Walsh, Nicole Walker, Trey Stephens, Scott Pollak, and Christian Pollak.

If you acted in or helped with a show in 2009, we invite you to join us tonight for the show. Free refreshments at 7, with the show beginning at 8.

Thanks to Brian Anderson, Levi Gentry, Laurel Alford, and Chaz Ferguson for the technical support/behind the scenes help.

I'll post the winners later this weekend.

Saturday night, the NITWITS return to the stage. More comedy! Got to love that. The show is $5 and begins at 8. I'm looking forward to the relaxing evening.

Tonight I got to see a dress rehearsal for And Baby Makes Seven. The show stars Euseph Messiah, Sarah Jordan, and Nicole Walker. They are a very talented cast and work wonderfully together.

This is a show not to be judged just on the description of "a trio choosing to rid their crowded apartment of their imaginary children as they await the birth of their first child."  It's much more complex.  Lots of humor in this unconventional family.   It's about parenting, children, love, and sacrifices.  Author Paula Vogel takes us to the extreme to show us that peope aren't as different as we think they are.  I can't wait to see the finished product.  The set and costumes aren't complete, but the acting is superb at this point.

And Baby Makes Seven opens on Friday, February 26th and runs for two weekends only.  Tickets are $10 for adults (13 and up) and $5 for children.  There is some language in the play and some adult themes.  I rate it PG-13.
