The situation with the Covid-19 crisis is fluid and changes dramatically from day to day.
Members of the board of directors continue to monitor the situation and are in the process of rescheduling our season. We are now planning on putting on "Run for your WIfe" on July 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, & 19.
If you have already purchased tickets, we will honor them at any of those performances, if the situation is such at that time that we can indeed hold the show. If you cannot attend one of those performances and have already purchased tickets, please send a refund request to nptg.org@gmail.com If the show has to be cancelled, we will of course issue refunds.
We have a set nearly done and a cast ready to present this very funny show to an audience. We can only hope that we reach the the end of this crisis sooner than some think possible. We can only hope.
Stay tuned for more information as the situation evolves.
Please do your best to keep yourselves and our community healthy and as always, thank you for supporting NPTG.

***** Wallace Foundation Awards Grant for NPTG Elevator *****
We are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded a grant by the Trustees of the George R. Wallace foundation in the amount of $5,000 for the major upgrade of our elevator. Although that is GREAT news, it has been awarded as a "matching grant" knowing that we will need raise $5,000 to reach the amount needed to repair the elevator and be awarded the grant. Our elevator company tried for some time to find parts to "retro-fit" our elevator, however, they were unsuccessful and an entirely new logic and control system has been quoted to us at $10,000. The elevator is not simply a convenience. We have had to turn away some elderly and handicapped people from seeing their friends of family members in our shows, which is very distressing and unfortunate - for them and NPTG. With the cost of productions rising all the time and the size of our theater, this is not the kind of money we can easily raise without your help.
Could you consider a donation?
NPTG is federally recognized 501(C)3 organization and your contributions are totally tax deductible. Many people look for a deserving place to make a donation, as we near the end of the tax year; so we hope you might consider us.
Although no plans are finalized at this time, I would hope that we could plan to mount a plaque near the working elevator in the near future, listing the Wallace Foundation and at least all the major contributors.
