Greetings!
The Holiday Season is upon us already, and the beginning of a New Year is just round the bend, my how times does fly! The HPT staff isn't letting any moss grow under our feet as we prepare for a busy Winter/Spring with some amazing artists. First up will be Sammy Cortino performing a new magic show entitled: "The Magic Story", which provides a history of magic and illusions from pre-Houdini to present. This family friendly event makes a perfect gift! Improvisational Theatre is next up for us with "The Water Coolers". Think of "Who's Line is it Anyway" meets "Second City." These pros weave stories of our lives as we see them through the eyes and ears of our fellow workers around the "water cooler". This is a fun mix of song, parody and great fun. As we progress through the remainder of our 12/13 Passport to Entertainment I am in the process of securing quality performances for 2013/14. If there is someone you'd like to see at HPT, please let me, or one of the staff know.
Thank you for supporting the High Point Theatre, and we wish you the most wonderful of Holiday's and the best New Year ever!  Sincerely, David Briggs, Director |

Coming in January...
 Magic's Royal Duke Sammy Cortino

To Cortino, magic is an art: an image of life. Utilizing classic illusions incorporated into drama, music, dance and comedy, this is your family's opportunity to see an amazing up-and-coming young magician on his first national tour.
 The Water CoolersFriday, January 25 - 7:30 pm.
A celebration of the crazy, funny, maddening and yet somehow universally comforting insanity of everyday life, this improvisational theatre company of NYC comics and singers is a cross between Capital Steps and Who's Line Is It Anyway?
