Man of La Mancha
May 1987
Dear Friends and Supporters of NCT:
Narrows Community Theater (NCT) is a group that has dreamed "The Impossible Dream" of bringing quality entertainment to the Bay Ridge area at a reasonable cost. Since NCT is no affiliated with any other organization, we depend on the members of our community to help us fulfill that dream.

You have helped us reach this dream by coming to participate in our production of Man of La Mancha. Every member of our group has worked long and hard in preparing for this moment, but without you, it would all be fruitless.

Another group that has helped us reach our quest is the merchants of this community. THey have generously supported our show via the ads in our playbill. Without these merchants, there would be no playbill. Without this playbill, there would be no show. Without the dream, there would be no NCT. So would you kindly take a moment to glance through our playbill and the next time you visit one of our local shops, mention you saw their ad at our show.

So now forget that you are in an auditorium.. imagine that you are in a dungeon in Spain .. and join our quest for "The Impossible Dream". If you enjoy your "brush" with our show and want more, consider joining us. If you want to continue to see quality theater in Bay Ridge, give us your name and address and we will put it on our mailing list.
Eileen Dreyer
