The Newtowne Players Present The Fantasticks
The Newtowne Players will present the longest running, most produced musical in the history of American theater, The Fantasticks by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. This classic tale of romance, family feud and daring rescue has delighted family audiences for generations. However, as one young couple learns, not everything is as simple as it appears. In fact, very little is truly as expected. But those are the lessons that come after experience, which this tale proves to tell. Fortunately, true love rules as the couple passes through the seasons of romance, loss, triumph and joy.

The Fantasticks will play Thursdays through Sundays from November 6th through the 22nd at Three Notch Theatre (across from the post office) in Lexington Park. Show times are 8 pm on Thursday through Saturday nights, and 3:30 pm on Sundays. Tickets are $18 for Adults, $15 for Senior/Student/Military, and $13 for children under 12. All seats are $13 on Thursday nights, and group rates are also available (call the ticket line and leave a message for rates and information).
