The Off Center for the Dramatic Arts, Burlington's oldest volunteer-run non-profit theater organization, welcomes the public to a ribbon-cutting and celebration reception at its brand-new space at 1127 North Avenue, next to the Bagel Cafe, from 4-7 pm on Saturday, April 8, with ribbon cutting at 5 pm.

The Off Center's board members are excited to share this freshly-renovated modern black-box theater space in the developing New North End. Designed with theater productions in mind, amenities such as a rear projection screen and a flexible performance area expand the possible uses to films, music performances, and dance. "We are eager to start this chapter in the New North End!" says local theater legend and Vice President of the Off Center Board Chris Caswell.

All are welcome to join in the celebration.
