| | Dear –FNAME–, This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of joining in with Nashua Community Theatre Companies at the New Hampshire Theatre Awards. With Nashua taking home over 1/4 of all statewide awards in the community and youth theatre categories. It became quite clear how fortunate we are to have this wealth of talented singers, actors, and volunteers who share their talents with us throughout the year! Overall, we have a strong creative community, and theatre is a big part of that. Thank you and congratulations to the Actorsingers, Peacock Players, Nashua Theatre Guild, Genesys Theatre and others who bring stories to life at Nashua’s Court Street Theatre and Keefe Center for the Arts! Check out the wealth of shows coming up in the months ahead:
February 9th-18th
Peacock Players is actively seeking African-American
performers of ALL AGES (12 to Adult)
April 20th-22nd
There is no shortage of great shows to take in during the spring season ahead, and that is worth celebrating! I hope you will join me in saving the date for some of these upcoming performances, because it is audience members and supporters like you that make our rich creative community possible!Have a great week!
