Dear Friends of NCT,

As we open our 53rd season of high quality local theatre, we are thrilled that our shows continue to delight thousands of theatre goers each year, while garnering prestigious awards from the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theatres (EMACT). Last season's productions received 19 nominations and 7 awards, including the award for “Best Musical” for our production of Titanic. Our high quality productions are the result of thousands of hours of dedication by talented performers, carpenters, seamstresses, artists and stage hands, all volunteers.

As an organization, we continue to be challenged by the rising cost of goods and performance space rental, while at the same time facing expenses for technical improvements. For example, we will soon be purchasing body microphones (at $600 each) due to changes in FCC regulations. Other recent investments include important upgrades to sound and lighting equipment, curtain and rigging improvements, and storage space for sets and costumes. Expenditures for recent NCT musical productions have averaged over $30,000 per show!

NCT is committed to remaining accessible to families through affordable ticket pricing. Therefore, in celebration of our upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz, we are reaching out to the community through our “Paving the Way” Yellow Brick Campaign. We hope that as you renew your membership to NCT, you will consider becoming a patron member and will show your support for NCT and the cast of Oz by purchasing a yellow “brick” to be displayed with your personal message during our upcoming performances.

Thank you for your support,

Kathy Magni
