Hurricane Diane will open at the Firehouse on October 4, 2024, at 7 pm. Additional shows will be on October 5 at 7 pm and October 6 at 2 pm. Ticket sales are expected to begin in the next few weeks, so check back soon!

“Hurricane Diane” was originally staged as NECC Theater’s Spring ’23 production. It was then selected as a Region 1 finalist for the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF). Beatrice and most of the original cast restaged the whole show for the festival this past February. The show, its cast, crew, and Beatrice were then selected for a series of national awards from the KCACTF.
At the ceremony this past spring in Washington, D.C., they took home 13 awards in total, the most of any college including many four-year private schools.
