Two BIG shows coming to NPAC

I am excited about two big stage shows coming to the Niswonger PAC in the next couple weeks.  The first is a big Irish show on Saturday, February 25.  The Women of Ireland is a show coming to us direct from Dublin, Ireland.  The five leading ladies in the show are certainly 100 percent Irish.  Their voices are mixed with an Irish band staged on either side of the stage, backing up their beloved Irish music, song and dance.

Many of you have seen Celtic Women on PBS TV or have seen their commercials for their DVD. This show is going to be a live stage show creating much of the same atmosphere and thrills that you have seen on TV. If you like Irish and Celtic music and dance, then this will be a show not to miss at the NPAC. The tickets are selling well, so don’t delay or you might just miss out on this one. Google them on your computer and you’ll see what I mean!

The other big show coming on March 3 is the last chance to see this tour of Broadway’s Fiddler on the Roof.  After this season, the show is going to be scaled way back and much of the production will be gone.  Our show, actually shows, because we are offering two performances on March 3: one at 2 p.m. and the other at 7 p.m., will be one of the last for the four semi-truck production. That’s as big a show as we have ever presented.  Annie was our other four-semi-truck show.

Of course, the story of Fiddler on the Roof is as legendary as the music.  It’s a heart-warming musical that will be worth every penny you spend on it.  A live pit orchestra and ultra professional staging will bring the story of this timeless Classic of American Theatre to life.

Call the box office or go on-line to reserve your seat.  This one is good enough you should invite friends to attend and make a day or evening of it.  If we had booked just one performance of Fiddler on the Roof, we would have been sold out weeks ago.  With two shows, you can still get some excellent seats for either the matinee or the evening show, but I wouldn’t wait too much longer.  We are honored to be able to bring such a huge Broadway show like this to Van Wert.  The next closest place to see this production would be Akron the day before or Indianapolis a few days later.

Don’t forget that the free tickets for the U.S. Navy Band’s Sea Chanters performance on March 7 will be distributed starting the 22nd of this month. You may obtain tickets at The Times-Bulletin on Fox Road or at the NPAC box office. I have seen and heard this group and I know you will love this singing chorus from the Navy.  We were fortunate they sought us out.  I told them as I have told every U.S. Military music ensemble; the doors of the Niswonger Performing Arts Center of Northwest Ohio are always open for you.  We are honored to host them, and you’re gonna love ‘em!

FINÉ.
