Dear friends of NCC Theatre,
We're a month out from opening our fall musical, Spring Awakening, so it's time to start meeting our talented cast!
|
|
Based on the 1891 German play of the same name by Frank Wedekind, 'Spring Awakening' explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with a poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgettable. The winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, it is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and rock and roll.
Due to themes, this show is recommended for mature audiences.

ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE 'WORKSHOP DAY' AT EAST 40: TOMORROW! |
|
The East 40 Gardens and NCC's Art Department are partnering for an exciting initiative. You can watch three artists-in-residence 'in action' with the wood-fired kiln, in a special Workshop Day coming tomorrow (Monday, September 27).
|
|
|
Come on out to the East 40 Gardens anytime between noon - 8 p.m. to watch their process and hear them talk about their works. This event is free and open to all; park in overflow lot "D" and look for the East 40 kiosk sign to direct you to the gardens.
Essye Klempner, Liz Wheeler and Tony Williams (pictured, from left) will be making artwork in and around East 40 most Sundays, Mondays and select additional days through Monday, October 18. The artists welcome visitors to watch them, but ask that if someone wants to visit with them about their work, they make an appointment through Rachael Gorchov.
This kickoff residency program celebrates the ten year anniversary of the East 40 Gardens and Experiential Learning Center. The program includes a community garden, learning garden, pollinators, wood-fired kiln, and serves as a lab for environmental and sustainability classes.

A lot going on at NCC! And we are glad to have your support of the theatre programs and other arts-related opportunities for our students.
Til next time: #staysafe #staywell #stayhome!
