The Pajama Game!

New England Youth Theatre presents “THE PAJAMA GAME” August 6-14^th.  The Pajama Game is a musical written by George Abbott and based on the novel 7-1/2 Cents by Richard Bissell featuring a score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross.
The story deals with labor troubles in a pajama factory, where workers’ demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Babe, who is the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent.

A perennial audience favorite, the original production won a Tony for Best Musical, and the 2006 Broadway revival won a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.
NEYT founder Stephen Stearns directs, with a stellar line-up of alumni, including musical directors Nick Bombicino & Louisa Sullivan and choreographer Shoshanna Bass.

Evening performances are Friday and Saturday August 6 and 7, and Tuesday through Saturday August 10-14 at 7pm.  Mattinees will be held at 2 PM on Saturday August 7, Sunday August 8, and Saturday August 14^th.
Tickets prices for students are $7.50, seniors $9.50, and adults $11.50.
You may purchase advance tickets on the NEYT website at www.neyt.org and at the NEYT box office on Wednesdays from 12-5 PM.  Tickets may also be purchased at the door.

The funds from selling raffle tickets, which cost $2 for one ticket or $5 for 3, will be put into NEYT’s financial aid fund.  The Youth Theatre is committed to never turning away a student in financial need.  We believe that it is important for all youth to be engaged in the arts and in collaborative ventures that help students build teamwork and leadership skills, confidence, and, most importantly, friendships.

During the summer, New England Youth Theatre distributed a total of over $7,000 in financial aid to all 40 students who applied for assistance. This money came from paid tuitions; concession sales at intermissions; donations in the lobby box; generous donations to our "Angels in the Wings" fund, set up specifically for this purpose; and from fundraisers geared towards boosting the financial aid funds.

Purchase your tickets at performances of The Pajama Game at New England Youth Theatre, August 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 at 7 PM or August 7, 8, and 14 at 2 PM.  Get your advance tickets to this production online at www.neyt.org.  Raffle tickets will be sold during performances.  A winner will be drawn at each performance.  Winners will be able to choose their prizes!  Come take in a great show with some superbly talented actors and actresses, and help support NEYT’s scholarship fund!
