What's Going on at the Nikos - TOUCH(ED) and GTP

The East Coast premiere of WTF alumni Bess Wohl's TOUCH(ED) is now playing on the Nikos. Hear what audiences have to say about this exciting new play!



Also at the Nikos on Monday 8/8, the Greylock Theatre Project will present it's third series of performances - Playmaking. Local children have been working throughout the summer to write a short play which will be performed by members of our equity and non-equity companies. This week, we got a look at the first read through of one of these plays with JD Taylor and Mike Weiser, members of our non-equity company!



TOUCH(ED) will play at the Nikos Stage until August 14. Tickets can be purchased in person at the box office, by calling (413) 597-3400, or online here. The Playmaking performances will take place on August 8 at 4 PM and 7 PM on the Nikos Stage. The shows are free but reservations are encouraged and can be made by calling (413) 597-3400. We hope to see you soon at the Nikos!
