NCT Partners to Help Raise Funds During Run of Damn Yankees

This Fall New Candlelight Theatre (NCT) will present the 7 time TONY Award winning musical, including Best Musical, Damn Yankees. During the run of the production, NCT will also be partnering with "Yes U Can" Corporation, a nonprofit devoted to bringing awareness and opportunities for physical activities to people with limited mobility and disabilities. Two programs they have currently running: Sit and Be Fit and their Individualized Weight Training, occur across the state and provide ample opportunities for people to get out and be healthy while feeling as though they are in a supportive and welcoming environment.

NCT began partnering with various organizations such as the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation as a way to give back to the community while also introducing new audience to the theatre. Chris Alberts, Producing Artistic Director of NCT says about these partnerships, "NCT has been greatly enriched this year by our partnerships with established organizations like Relay for Life and B+. We are thrilled to now be able to offer a partnership with this new organization. The mission of Yes U Can and the spirit of its founder are truly inspiring."

To help raise funds for this organization, theatre goers can mention "Yes U Can" or enter the code Yes-U-Can online and NCT will donate $5.00 of each adult ticket purchased to this outstanding organization. Supporting a worthy cause has never been easier. Join us for an evening of delicious food, wonderful drinks and of course- live theatre. Learn more at www.yesucanusa.org
