If you would like to attend, please register on NEPTA's site for the awards ceremony through the link above, or get the cash for the tickets to me no later than April 4th. Tickets are $35 cash, or $37 by credit card each, which includes dinner and the show. (Full menu and details on the NEPTA site through the link above.) If you do register on the NEPTA site, please make sure to mention Kaleidoscope Players so they will know where to seat you. Also, please let me know whether you plan on attending so that we know how many to include at our table. We would like to coordinate carpooling as much as possible, so if you need a lift - or have an extra seat or two - please let us know! (I believe the ride to the event is about an hour away from Stroudsburg.) Whether or not you personally are nominated, I hope everybody will attend and support your fellow players. Family members and friends are also welcome. Again, this is a Black Tie event, so dust off that tux, get out that sequined dress, and come out with great smile!
