| Erica Elam (Rachel) and Director Jessica Thebus |

| Everyone enjoyed the great food and great atmosphere at Billy Berk's! |
 |
| We keep 'em coming back! Scott Jaeck (Drummond) reunited with Red Herring cast members Sean Cooper and Lesley Bevan, along with former Northlight staffer Reetu Gowdar. |
Opening night! Always an exciting, enervating time in the theatre. The cast is wired and jazzed. All their hard work boils down to one performance at which colleagues, friends, loved ones, and yes critics, will watch every move they make and see every choice they have made in the last three weeks.
The early buzz has been wonderful, and many of our loyal benefactors and subscribers have weighed in with lavish praise about Jessica Thebus' beautiful production. I am so proud of their hard work and I know the board joins me in congratulating them.
There perhaps could not be a more timely play right now. The Daily Herald said, "If timing is everything Northlight Theatre’s top-notch revival of Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee’s 1955 play Inherit the Wind comes at the right time." And it's the truth.
Our Opening Night party at Billy Berk's was spectacular and we owe a big thank you to Greg Nemeth, Dennis Berkowitz and his staff for throwing a great wing-ding, perfectly befitting a spectacular opening night.
