North Cambridge Family Opera - Performances March 20-21 and 27-28!

[jennifer.livejournal.com]

North Cambridge is close to Davis; please delete if you see fit, mods.

North Cambridge Family Opera is doing the original production, Springtime for Haman (get your Producers jokes out here, folks.) the weekends of March 20 and 27. That means this upcoming Saturday and Sunday and the next Saturday and Sunday. The two Saturday shows will be at 2:30 and 7 PM, the Sunday shows at 1:30 and 6 PM. All shows will be at the Peabody School, at 70 Rindge Avenue in Cambridge. (Off the 83 bus for MBTA folk, and it's also close to the 77.)

If you want to attend, there are two options for obtaining tickets! One being buying them online via the website, linked above. There is a small service fee this way.

The second option is, of course, buying them at the door. $10 for adults at the door, $5 for kids at the door.

It is a *really* fun show, with some fantastic music. (I admit it - I *love* a lot of the numbers I'm not in as much as I do the ones I am in.) And it is absolutely not over the top with the Biblical references - as the composer/librettist himself said, when writing this, he didn't want it to be the kind of thing that would get religious figures upset. So it's definitely not over the top, and I'm pretty sure the performers themselves range across the religious scale.

The entire cast has been working hard on this, and it's really going to be fantastic. So come see us!

North Cambridge is right next to Davis Square so this is most definitely appropriate, as are any other announcements of events in that neighborhood.

I've enjoyed North Cambridge Family Opera's shows in the past and strongly encourage all Davis Square folks to attend.

And I'm in it too, and I live in DS, so that counts. :-D Come see it!

And I'm in it too! I think it's really going to be good, if I have to say so myself.

You *rock*, Masha. <3333

Yes! (Though I'm actually Median cast, not Persian cast. But. Come see us both!)

[ron_newman]

What does that mean -- Median vs Persian cast?

[jennifer.livejournal.com]

Ah, the show itself has two casts because the company is so big. One cast is the Median cast, one is the Persian cast. But it'll be a good show, regardless. (Median cast does the evening shows the first weekend and the matinees the second, and vice versa for Persian cast.)

Do you folks know how advisable it is to reserve tickets in advance for the matinees? I think there's precisely one show that fits our schedule and has the cast we're hoping to catch, but I'm also happy not to pay a service fee for nothing...

[jennifer.livejournal.com]

I think you'll probably be okay not reserving for the matinees? Which show is it?

[ron_newman]

I've never reserved tickets to any NCFO show -- I've just shown up at the door. (Which one are you going to?)

Looks like this Sunday afternoon. We can make next Sunday afternoon too, but someone my daughter wants to see is in the cast for this weekend's matinees. (And we are certainly encouraging seeing how cool it is for her slightly older friends to get to perform in the NCFO since maybe then she will want to audition with us when she's bigger. ;-)
