Nashville Children's Theatre Event to Help Metro School Teachers

Bring new and unopened school supplies to NCT on Saturday, February 17, and receive a free ticket to that day's performance

Nashville Children’s Theatre will provide a free ticket to the Saturday, Feb. 17 production of Einstein is a Dummy to patrons who bring new and unopened school supplies for the LP PENCIL Box. LP PENCIL Box is a free supply store for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools’ elementary and middle school teachers. The LP PENCIL Box helps teachers who otherwise would be paying for supplies out of their own pocket.

Curtain time for the Saturday matinee is 2:30 p.m. NCT representatives will collect arts and crafts supplies, crayons, highlighters, tape, pencils, pens, books or other new school items for the LP PENCIL Box.

In addition, this is a Celebrate Nashville event, honoring the city’s 200th anniversary and the theater’s 75th birthday. Vice-Mayor Howard Gentry will be present to honor Nashville Children's Theatre with a proclamation.

To make use of the supplies-for-tickets offer: simply bring the supplies to NCT's box office on Saturday, Feb 17th.

The City Paper Review of Einstein is a Dummy:
http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com/index.cfm?section=12&screen=news&news_id=54531

Maybe nobody thought much of Albert Einstein when he was twelve. Maybe he was always late and maybe he forgot stuff and maybe he got lost. A lot. Maybe he stumbled over his words every time he tried to speak to Elsa, the prettiest girl in his music class. Maybe the music students were supposed to play “Boring Ballad #4 in C Major” for the Illustrious Grand Fancy Schmanzy Recital, but young Albert couldn’t get it right. Maybe Einstein was a dummy – or maybe he was just writing a new song that nobody had ever heard before. Maybe, just maybe, he was sorting out the relationship between mass, energy and the speed of light. Join us for an imaginative, exhilarating, hilarious, inspiring musical romp through a fictional day in the young life of the greatest mind of the twentieth century – and his talking cat.
