Why, NC Stage, of course!
NC Stage received news of two very cool honors this month, and we couldn't be more tickled.
We are honored to be one of 10 theatres in the entire country to receive a National Theatre Company grant from American Theatre Wing, the founder of the Tony Awards. This prestigious grant is awarded to non-profit regional theatres that "have articulated a distinctive mission, cultivated an audience, and
nurtured a community of artists in ways that strengthen the quality,
diversity, and dynamism of American theatre."
This month we are also a recipient of the Flavor of the Month from our friends over at Ultimate Ice Cream.
“To Be or NUT to Be” is a caramel ice cream with walnuts and chocolate
chips. The best part? Proceeds from To Be or Nut to Be benefit NC Stage’s education programs.
Ultimate Ice Cream supports local non-profits through its Flavor of the
Month program, proving that they are as generous as they are delicious.
Both of these honors really mean a lot to us. We are deeply rooted in our local community, and we strive to present the best, most exciting theatre we can. We believe Western NC deserves to see the same kind of stellar theatre enjoyed by folks in places like Chicago, DC, or New York.
So go buy a scoop of "To Be or NUT to Be" and enjoy your local professional theatre!
