Nativity Players, Final Curtain Call

NP_logoDue to a combination of factors and a vote of the Nativity Player’s Board, the Nativity Players will be staging their last theatrical production in late April/early May of 2017.

The Players will be celebrating their Thirty-fifth and final year as a Nativity ministry with the presentation of GUYS AND DOLLS. The production will be directed by Nativity parishioner, and longtime Nativity Player, Patti Newberry. Auditions are scheduled in early January and will be open to persons of high school age and older.

Information will be coming soon to the Nativity Players website (www.nativityplayers.org) and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/nativityplayers/).

The Players thank all who have joined and supported the ministry over the years.  They invite all friends and supporters, within the theatre community and beyond, to celebrate the history and accomplishments of the  Players as they take their final bows next Spring.
