NC Rep to present ‘At This Evening’s Performance’

This laugh-a-minute farce will have audiences reveling in the merriment.

At This Evening’s Performance previews begin Wednesday, July 12 with Opening Night on Saturday, July 15, at 8 p.m. There will be a special talkback on Friday, July 21, with the cast and artistic director. Visit www.northcoastrep.org to purchase tickets.
