It is with a heavy heart, and great disappointment, that the New Thalian Players announce we will not be able to bring "Theatre in the Park" - our planned production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" to the city of Manchester this year.

For the past five years, with no home space or stage, the New Thalian Players has struggled, against all odds, to bring FREE, live musical theatre to the people and families of Manchester, an to all who visit.

We are one, small, non-profit, community theatre and the thousands and thousands of dollars it takes to produce such an event in the city of Manchester, have simply overwhelmed us in this economy.   We sincerely hope that re-focusing our efforts on fundraising this year, will enable us to bring Theatre in the Park back next summer.

In an effort to summon support for "TiP", we included in our mission statement, a quote from Winston Churchill: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."  If the residents of the city of Manchester, and towns surrounding, remember fondly what we've givn, then we've accomplished something will worth the work.

For the last 5 years, we give heartfelt thanks to those who have made it possible:

All the Volunteers who gave their time so generously

All the audience members who donated to our cause.

THANK YOU
