Nonstop Laughter with The N Play!

 

This Saturday, bring your young theatre fans (and future fans) to see The N Play. Like all our Alphabet Plays, it is created and presented by the CTC's teen group, TheatreQuest, and is designed especially for very young audiences. The stories are brief, boisterous, and the perfect introduction to theatre for young kids.

 

Our newest alphabet play is about the notorious, the nuanced, the natty N. Meet some nice neighbors, catch up on the latest N news and solve a mystery with Nancy Knew. This theatrical adventure, specifically designed for young children, pits a group of intrepid actors against the clock. Can they use 30 'N' words in 30 minutes? If not, there's a pie in the face waiting for one of them. Whether a neophyte n-ologist or a true n-ophile, come and be ready for nonstop laughter. 


 

Saturdays, November 7, 14 & 21@ 10:30AM. Tickets available at the door for just $5.

 

 


Need more information? Call Chuck Tuttle at 423-267-8538 ext. 313.
