President’s Message
Dear NFCT Friends!
I can’t believe summer is coming to a close. Time flies when you’re having fun at the NFCT. While we’re sad to say goodbye to lazy summer days, the good news is that the fall brings the start of a brand new season. Our 58th season will kick off with Little Shop of Horrors opening on October 29th. The other shows to look forward to this season are Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Becky’s New Car, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Urinetown. Be sure to get your season subscription now and reserve your preferred seat before individual seats go on sale.
Congratulations once again to the cast and crew of All Shook Up! The show was so great, I had to see it twice! I’m still hearing such glowing reviews from all of our patrons. It was obvious the youth involved truly loved working together to create such a special show. I hope you all come back next year and do it again.
Don’t forget about the September General Membership Meeting! We will be meeting Tuesday, September 8th at 8:00 PM. Come join us and share your ideas!
Looking forward to seeing you soon! Liz

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 15 By Howard Ashman and Alan Menken The Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, written by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, tells the story of meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn, who stumbles across a new breed of plant he names Audrey II, after his co-worker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down- and-out Seymour as long as he keeps feeding it what it wants. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out-of-this-world origins and true intent and sets out to put things right.
WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF JANUARY 15 - 31 By Edward Albee Late night drinks at George and Martha’s after a faculty party turn into a harrowing evening for the unsuspecting guests, Nick and Honey. Edward Albee’s stinging domestic drama depicts a toxic marriage laced with cruel games and black humor, and lays bare the dark underside of human relationships.
BECKY’S NEW CAR MARCH 4 – 20 By Steven Dietz Have you ever been tempted to flee your own life? Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management, and in a middling marriage-with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a socially inept and grief- stricken millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life in this hilarious look at marriage, motherhood and the mundane matters of life.
DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS MAY 12- 29 Music and lyrics by David Yazbek, book by Jeffrey Lane Sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, this hysterical musical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score by David Yazbek (The Full Monty) and was nominated for 11 TONY awards. Based on the popular 1988 film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, centers on two con men living on the French Riviera. Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories of his grandmother’s failing health. When they each target beautiful heiress Christine Colgate, a hilarious battle of cons ensues that keeps audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end.
URINETOWN JULY 21 - AUGUST 7 Music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and book by Greg Kotis The Tony-award-winning, hilarious comedy Urinetown: the Musical is a bold satire on politics, capitalism, and socialism, as well as a parody of such hit musicals as Les Miserables and West Side Story. You’ll have a blast, and we promise not to make you ‘Pay to Pee!’ (Shows are subject to change without notice.)
