one viewer, $20.00 for 2 viewers and $30.00 for 3 or more.

challenges for actors. .

Below is a press release written by our new NSTC volunteer, Brad Martinez.

No Strings Theatre Company remains a bastion for the arts in a post-COVID  
world, thanks to Streaming. Ceil Herman directs 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒋𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑲𝒊𝒅 by the  
late playwright and local celebrity, Mark Medoff. The play is about two  
young idealistic lawyers who've come to the Southwest to help the Apache  
Native American tribe from being exploited by companies from the East.

Medoff's first play, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒓 was published in 1967. His most well known  
play, for which he won a Tony Award, 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒓 𝑮𝒐𝒅, was first  
produced on Broadway in 1980

No String's production of The Majestic Kid features an all star cast of  
local actors - Luz Resendez, Scott Brocato, Debbie Jo Felix, Rachel Thomas- 
Chappell and Joshua Taulbee.

Theatre making is an art that thrives on the energy of an audience, not to  
mention the give and take between actors - like a psychological snowball  
fight - but in the current climate, traditional theatre moves to an  
electronic visual venue which presents a new set of challenges and unique  
opportunities for performance.

NSTC plans to announce their next season when this one has ended.  This  
will surely come as a relief to ticket holders, cultural aficionados and  
theatre hopefuls alike who are excited to see local theatre back on its  
feet, while celebrating the legacy Mark Medoff left and for some, following  
faithfully in his footsteps.

Just like the rare play with a happy ending, hopefully soon, 'this too  
shall pass' and live theatre can resume. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒋𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑲𝒊𝒅 is especially  
significant to Las Cruces, New Mexico as it helps keep alive the spirit of  
the West, imagination and most of all, Mark Medoff - who touched so many  
lives in our community.
