Again we thank Vicki Stanley and John Allensworth and all of their volunteers for making NIKO NIGHT a wonderful community event, proceeds to help NCP!  We had a great time....and the food (and beer) was outstanding!!
Rehearsals have started with our Spotlight on Youth Repertory Company....we have received additional grant monies to go into many more schools....this is very encouraging...our grantors realize the importance of taking social issue plays into the schools....and we thank all of them....we have approximately 40 in the company, most teens, some adults and one child (hi, Emma).

On a sad note:  This week we lost a great lady from the NCP Senior Troupe.....Mary Stoner.  She passed away at the age of 82....she leaves behind 4 children and many grandchildren, but most of all..Ken, the love of her life...they were married for 62 years...they loved each other very very much and enjoyed  l2 years with the Senior Troupe....their energy and vitality were always an inspiration to all of us....we miss you already, Mary!   Godspeed......
