The NECC spring theater production, “Lighten Up” recently played to sold out audiences on May 5, 6, 7 and 8. Directed by Theater Program Coordinator Brianne Beatrice, the play, by New York City based comic Peter Zachari, featured professional actor and NECC alumni Michael Zuccola in a series of seven comedic vignettes set in the 1980s. Also in the cast were Nicole Affannato, Olivia Barberian, Joanne Callahan, Gwynnethe Glickman, Alyssa Fluet, Jessica Newey and Brayden Toth. The play was performed outside in the Quad.

It happened outside of B and E Building.

People were having a good time over all They laughed and most importantly they enjoyed every second of it.

They also had 1980s theme that will be funny for older people that lived through that time unlike the younger people that will find it confusing and not understand.

The play was 90 minutes nonstop comedy.

Those cast never disappointed the audience. Some how some way they always made the audience entertained, which is the most important thing.
