Theatre Getting A Much-Needed "Facelift" - Phase One Renovations Revealed To Visitors in April
Thank You 2012-2013 Season Sponsors!
Calendar of Events - May and June 2012
Theatre Announces 2012-2013 Season Lineup, Your Passport to Entertainment!
Greetings!

The HPT 2011-2012 season comes to a close this month, but we don't stop and rest on our laurels. We still have plenty of work to do, and a wonderful recital season ahead! Dance South, Dance Edge, High Point Ballet and Arts Evangelica will all be holding their recitals and performances at the High Point Theatre through the end of May to the middle of June. Be sure to check on line and get tickets to your favorite event.

 

As we cruise into the summer months the staff will be busy working on phase two of the renovation project in the lobby and galleries. We anticipate new carpet, a new concession area, as well as enclosing the two art galleries so they can better serve our clients who wish to have private meetings. We hope you are enjoying the work that has been completed so far.

 

I would like to encourage you to become a member of our Friends of the Theatre organization. Your donations and memberships allow us to cover additional artist expenses, raise funds for special projects, and it shows your encouragement of live performance here in High Point. As an added incentive, when you become a member, or renew your membership, you will receive a card that will allow you to save $1 off each non-alcohol purchase at the concession stand. We are making it easier to join as well. You may now join over the phone using a credit or debit card. Of course checks and cash are also accepted.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support of the High Point Theatre. Be on the look-out for the new "Passport to Entertainment" for the 2012-2013 High Point Theatre Professional Artist Series.

 

David S. Briggs, Director
High Point Theatre

 

Phase One Theatre Renovations Revealed to Visitors during April Events!
Lobby - Spring Market
The theatre proudly showed off its new lighting, paint and hanging art display systems in April, starting with the Spring Furniture Market. Site of the International Buyers Lounge and the Market Authority's Media Center, guests to our city were greeted with luxurious furnishings in which to relax between appointments or while filing stories regarding market activities. Residents also enjoyed the fresh new look during the NC Bodybuilding competition held the week prior to market, then again during the Kim Waters concert the later part of the month.
 
We would encourage you to attend an upcoming event, whether community-related like the numerous dance recitals between now and mid-June, or an outstanding professional production during the next few months by the HP Community Theatre, NC Shakespeare Festival or an exciting Theatre Art Galleries (TAG) Exhibit. We think you'll be just as excited, and impressed, about the "facelift" as we are! And, why not consider rental of one of the Theatre's lovely spaces when planning your next family or business gathering?
 
Thank you Sponsors!
 
We would like to say a very special "thank you" to our corporate sponsors for 2012-2013. Without you it would be almost impossible to bring the outstanding performances that we are currently able to offer Triad residents.
