(Because NPT is a proud recipient of grants from Fairfield County’s Community Foundation, The Fish Church Grant, Stratford Rotary and the Fippenger Foundations, we can keep our costs at this low rate for all our quality educational and professional shows this year.)
Since our administrative staff is volunteer-based these fees help us pay directly for teachers, directors, designers, the rights to the shows, our theatre space and more!
All students who register by March 1st will be invited to participate in our “Creating Community Workshops and Presentations”.
(See the info below for the application for this exciting NPT initiative!)
