Two Households...

both alike in dignity / In fair Verona where we lay our scene / From ancient grudge break to new mutiny / Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean....and it begins tonight!  See The Hot Spot to the left for details.

Attitude, Gratitude, Latitude

 

Friar Laurence (NPT member Matt Hermes),
Romeo (Christian Boomgaarden) and Juliet (Kelly Hogan)

With less than 2 weeks to go until the start of the "Summer of Shakespeare," it's all hands on deck, and damn the torpedos!
The excitement and anticipation for the approaching premieres has given an additional boost to the high spirits of the casts and crews of Romeo + Juliet and Twelfth Night.  The Town House has been a-bustle 6 nights a week for the last 5 weeks, and this past weekend, the energy and hard work migrated to our performance location, the Mill Run Amphitheatre (more about that below).  Everyone is thrilled to be "in the space!" 



Mill Run Amphitheatre

A good part of that thrill is owed to guests of the May 21st Cabaret and participants of NPT's Kickstarter campaign.  With the funds raised by both events, NPT's summer programme is paid for.  Thank you to everyone who donated time, goodwill, and dollars to the effort.  None of this risk-taking would be possible without your pledge of faith!

Speaking of faith...no small miracle occurred when, after NPT was jilted by its original performance space, the Mill Run Owners Association enthusiastically stepped in with its support and offered NPT the Mill Run Amphitheatre - complete with ample parking, a variety of on-site vendors, sponsored restrooms, and, frankly, an unbeatable setting.



We're in love - with the Mill Run Amphitheatre!
