NSMT Announces That The NSMT Benefit Tix Are Sold Out

The Friends of North Shore Music Theatre have announced that 650 tickets for the February 3, 2009 North Shore Music Theatre benefit were sold in just a few days, a strong indication of the immense support for the venerable musical theatre.

The event, organized by a volunteer committee of trustees, former employees, NSMT alumni and parents, will be held on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at Danversport Yacht Club, 161 Elliot Street in Danvers, MA at 6:30 pm.

The star-studded evening will be hosted by venerable NSMT actor David Coffee.

Coffee will be joined by special guest George Dvorsky, star of A Christmas Carol, The Full Monty, Kiss Me, Kate, and many, many more NSMT productions. Dvorsky is currently starring in the First National Tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Also performing and lending their support during the evening will be many Boston area favorites who have performed at NSMT, including Peter S. Adams, Leigh Barrett, Maureen Brennan, Mary Callanan, Andrew Giordano, Cassandra Marsh, Cheryl McMahon, Robert Saoud, and Kathy St. George.
