¹ “Producer’s Luncheon,” will be a sit-down luncheon at Hotel Jerome or other Aspen location, at which Producing Director Jed Bernstein will interview a star, director, choreographer, etc. from the show currently playing. TA will cover the cost of the meal, with beverages at member expense.

² “Behind-the-Curtain,” will be an exclusive opportunity to get a glimpse inside the creative process. This might include watching part of a technical rehearsal, getting a “backstage” tour of the set, or similar exclusive experience for one of our mainstage summer productions. Each summer will offer one unique opportunity available only to NC+ members.
