2007-2008 SEASON

A LITTLE BIT OF BUTTERFIELD BACK AT HOME

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continuous support of Butterfield Stage. The last few years have brought many changes to BSP, and this year was no different.

As you will see, our 2007-2008 Season brings Butterfield back home again. We will have four Main Stage productions at our historic downtown theatre. Our summer musical will be a joint-production with NCTC Fine Arts Department and performed at the beautiful First State Bank Center for Performing Arts. You will also notice a variety shows directed by local community members and volunteers. We are excited to have this opportunity to return from whence we came and can’t wait for the first show to open!
