Tonight is Nonprofit Appreciation Night!

The High Point Area Arts Council would like to show appreciation for all of the staff, board members, and volunteers of area nonprofits by inviting you to a free jazz concert tonight, Wednesday, October 21, at Arts on Main! Just tell the person at the door that you are an HPCT volunteer and they will waive the cover charge.

Tonight is the last of five nights of live jazz at Arts on Main at 305 N. Main Street. Left of Blue featuring Blue Murrow will be playing from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Blue was born in High Point, home of John Coltrane. Blue has been inspired by a wide variety of musicians, Elizabeth Cotton, Nina Simone and Doc Watson, all North Carolina natives.

Sit back and listen to jazz in a creative environment while drinking your favorite beverages (wine, beer, soda, coffee) and enjoying desserts by Taste Sensations of High Point. In addition to the music, there is an art gallery where you can view and purchase original artwork!

There is plenty of parking in the lot behind the building off English Road.

Arts on Main is open tonight from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. There is a $10 cover charge but folks associated with area nonprofits will be admitted free tonight! All proceeds from this fund-raising event benefits the arts in High Point.

Seussical Company Meeting & 1st Rehearsal

Hi Seussicalers,

I am sorry for the delay in getting the 1st rehearsal set up. We are still waiting on scripts. They should be delivered and we should be ready to go on Thursday, October 8th at 7:00 pm. The first hour will be a company meeting for everybody and the parents of any cast members under driving age. We will have the schedule for the first week at that time. At some point during the 1st week you will receive the schedule for the remainder of the rehearsal period.

I can't wait to get started.

Jennifer
