Dear NFCT Friends,
This has been such a fun fall! We just closed the fall musical, The Boy Friend , and I am feeling that kinda lost feeling, like something is “missing.” And then I realize that it is all of you: the cast, crew, and audience members that I am missing! It was so great to be a part of this show. We had a truly stellar cast and crew who made this show a joy to be a part of. You guys were incredible.
Looking forward to winter, we have a lot going on at the NFCT in these chillier months. We hope you will join us for these great shows and community events! We will be Christmas Caroling on Love Lane as a group on Saturday,
December 13 th . It is an informal and fun gathering – come on down and join us. We will have some warm cocoa and yummy treats as we sing.
The NFCT holiday show, It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play , will be playing on Saturday December 13 th and
Sunday December 14 th . This special holiday event is only playing for two days, so get your tickets now! Also, as we head into the holiday season, we hope you will give an NFCT gift certificate to your friends and family to celebrate. Tickets to all
4 upcoming shows are only $60 total (or $70 with the Holiday show). Gift certificates for individual shows are also available. You can order online at www.nfct.com
or call 631-298-4500 for more info.
The NFCT Art Show contest received a number of beautiful entries; each artwork displays the artist’s vision of the
NFCT. The winning entries will be displayed at the NFCT this winter. An opening reception for the art show to celebrate the artists will be held on Friday January 2 nd at 7PM before the 11 th Annual Variety Show starts at 8PM. All of the artwork is for sale and a portion of the proceeds will go towards the NFCT Renovation Campaign.
I hope to see you at an upcoming NFCT event!
