A big thanks you to Glenn Baldwin and Friends of Jazz for treating us to
live music at our last meeting on November 13th.Our meeting on Wednesday,
December 11 at 7:30 p.m., with the cooperation of the Northport Library,
will present an evening of theater, without the need for a trip to the Big
Apple. Compliments of NAC members.

First on the program will be a performance by Charlotte Koon’s C.A.S.T
(Children’s After School Theater) with the help of Ghislaine Grillo
(movement, music, and design). Six girls who’ve participated in the sessions
of Young Actor’s Tool Box at The Posey School will debut in an "Alice in
Wonderland Fantasy" based on the classic by Lewis Carroll. Participating
will be: Caitlin Aymong, Danielle Burby, MaryAnn Carey, Marissa
Lieberman-Klein, and Katie Quigley, with the assistance of Sarah Gottlieb
(understudy and creative input.)

We will then have a brief intermission so that at parents’ discretion,
children may take their leave. The remainder of the performances will be
directed to adults. Directed by Jeff Bennett and starring: Frank Zinghini,
Christine Nelson, Terese Van Schultz, Mari Curzio, Kate Kelly, Charlotte
Koons, and Will Burg

                         NAC’S Journal for the Arts

Look for NAC’s Journal for the Arts, a publication that will be mailed to
you quarterly beginning in February. We plan to include the NAC schedule,
interview different members in each issue, and report on NAC events. A new
feature called WHAT’S HAPPENING will keep track of what our members are
doing. If you’re having a concert, publishing a poem, participating in an
art show, or just creating, let us know so we can tell everyone else. Some
of the information will also be available on our web site
(www.northportarts.org).

Members who are interested in participating in the journal, either as a
reporter or a columnist, or who have information that should be included,
are asked to get in touch with Editor Joan Hauser at NAC 483 Asharoken
Avenue, Northport, NY 11768, or call her at 261-5897, or e-mail her at
jgh921@aol.com before January 3rd. Please include your name and phone number
in case there are any questions.
