Northern Showcase is in its 28th year of providing a performing arts series for the community of Havre. The committee responsible for Northern Showcase was originally comprised of only faculty members from Northern Montana College but has since been expanded to include college staff members, students and members of local and surrounding communities. Northern Montana College changed its name to Montana State University-Northern in July 1994.
In 2008, the Northern Showcase organization merged with the HiLine Community Concert Association (HLCA) to become the Northern Showcase Concert Association (NSCA). Members of the HLCA have joined the Northern Showcase committee. There is simply less money in our community and more demand on it, so the two organizations decided this merge was best for the future success of the fine arts in our community. Traditionally Northern Showcase has offered 3-5 performances during the academic year in the areas of theatre, dance, musical groups and/or individuals. NSCA will provide 7 performances this year as a result of the merge. NSCA has traditionally received support from the student body, private donors and season ticket sales.
We are proud to announce, our 2009-10 Concert Reciprocity Program. Along with the NSCA, Great Falls, Fort Benton, Gardiner, Helena, Chinook, Malta, Glasgow, Lewistown and White Sulphur Springs are joining together to provide additional entertainment to their members. Individual concerts are available at a cost of $5.00 per show to NSCA members. For more information regarding this huge offer, contact Denise Brewer at 406-265-3732, e-mail or check out the Great Falls Community Concert Association website at greatfallscommunityconcert.com.
