Needham Community Theatre to Stage 'FORBIDDEN BROADWAY...THE FARCE AWAKENS'

Needham Community Theatre is celebrating its 60th anniversary this season. As part of the celebration, NCT has collaborated with Gerard Alessandini, the creator and writer of Forbidden Broadway and a Needham native, to present FORBIDDEN BROADWAY COMES TO NEEDHAM: THE FARCE AWAKENS.

The original Forbidden Broadway, a farcical revue of Broadway songs and performers, was created by Mr Alessandrini in 1982, and has been revised over a dozen times since to include newer Broadway shows. Needham's version will include some songs re-written in tribute to NCT and Needham.

The show will be performed this coming weekend, April 1 and 2 at 8 PM and April 3 at 2 PM at the Newman School, 1155 Central Ave in Needham. There will also be a 60th-anniversary reception at the Needham Historical Society , 1147 Central Ave from 6-7:30 on April 1, prior to the opening night performance. Appetizers will be served and there will be a cash bar. Mr. Alessandrini will be in attendance at the reception and opening night performance.

Parking for both events is at the Newman School. A donation of $10 is suggested for the reception. Ticket prices and information for the three performances may be found on our website www.needhamtheatre.org or by calling 781-444-4740.
