A Midsummer Night’s Dream – tickets now available on WeChat and Alipay!

 

By popular request… The further adventures of Flora

Flora, due to her excessive common sense and precocious appreciation of Shakespeare, eventually became a teacher, and spent her life in the corner of the kitchen at parties rearranging fridge magnets into quotes from her favourite plays that were quiet and unnoticed cries for help. She lived alone with two cats called Lysander and Demetrius.

Follow her wise advice, and buy that ticket now!

On sale from the cashier (cash only) OR in the Centre lobby, 7:30-8am, WITH WECHAT & ALIPAY!!! Friday sold out!! Get your tickets for Wednesday or Thursday while they last…!!!

NIC Christmas Charity Festival – 5th December 4-6pm in the PAC

It is nearly that time of year again, and we are delighted that NIC will host the 10th Anniversary Christmas Charity Festival here at NIS for NIS Community members only on Saturday, 5th December from 4-6pm.

Tickets available from Sue in Admissions and before the Production on Wed/Thurs & Friday nights this week.

NIC Members Free – but you MUST have a ticket.

Non NIC Members  : Adults RMB 100/school age children RMB 50 /under 3’s FOC

Tickets are strictly limited to 500 and when they are gone- they’re gone.

Like everything this year it  will feel a bit different. It is not seated and in the absence of the RFG Christmas Market we hope we can re-create a festive market feel with food and drink, gifts, merchandise, student produced cards and much, much more.

Santa will be welcoming children in the Black Box, there will be musical entertainment and some good old singalongs!

Amy K is constructing her famous, fabulous gingerbread houses which will be raffled off on the night.

Please wear your NIS ID and follow the well rehearsed rules for safety on campus.

All proceeds go to our nominated charities.
