"Now
This" Theatre Production on February 26
The Palisades
Citizens Association and the Palisades Community Fund invite you to join them
for a free ėNow Thisî theater production on Saturday, February 26 at 2 p.m.
in the Lab School of Washingtonís black box theater.
ėNow Thisî is an interactive musical theater group which performs in the Washington
area for both adults and children.
During performances, people shout out their ideas for skits and the ėNow Thisî
cast instantly turns the ideas into songs, comic sketches and musical fairy
tales. The group brings with them a box of props and costumes which they use
to embellish the different skits. The performance will be an hour long with
a ten minute intermission.
According to Lisa Sherman, one of the groupís founders and a Palisades resident
(as well as an enthusiastic member of the PCA), the production will entertain
people of all ages. So please come with your children, your parents and your
friends and join the PCA and the PCF for a fun afternoon of family entertainment.
We look forward to seeing you there!
