Love theatre at Nicolet College? Read on!

We are launching the Nicolet Players Creative Circle, a volunteer group of local theater artists and supporters who are committed to building a strong, welcoming, year-round theater community.

❌ What it's NOT: a committee with a long list of assignments

What it IS:
✅ Gather quarterly to share updates, ideas, and community feedback.
✅ Between meetings, help in small, flexible ways that fit your schedule. This might be sharing an audition notice, inviting a friend to a show, or making an introduction.
✅ Help plan community-building events that bring the theater community together, including an annual gathering and cast parties.

Nicolet Players Creative Circle members will serve a 2-year term, with the possibility of renewal.

👉 Interested? Head to https://ow.ly/fnWa50Z5cSK for more information and to apply.

Applications are due June 10!

⏰ 6:00pm
📍 Nicolet College Theatre - Lakeside Center

Nick Petrie will promote his ninth novel in the pulse-pounding Peter Ash series, The Dark Time. Ash rides to the aid of an investigative reporter who may have stumbled on a story more explosive than even he can handle in this propulsive new entry in Petrie’s award-winning series.
