Niles North Theatre presents “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding on October 8 through 10 in the Auditorium at 9800 N. Lawler, Skokie. The classic tale of a plane wreck that strands a group of English students on a deserted island during wartime. As the students explore their new-found freedom, what starts out as fun and games turns into a vicious battle for power. They split into two tribes: one that strives for civility and another that delights in savage violence. The competition escalates into a dangerous, frightening climax, as this thrilling classic looks into the darker parts of human nature.
Performances are 7 p.m. on Friday, October 9 and Saturday, October 10 in the Auditorium. Tickets are $10. Purchase by calling the Box Office at (847) 626-2122 or visit http://www.nntheatre.com.

The Fine Arts Parents and Patrons are hosting a rummage sale to benefit the Niles North Fine Arts departments and student grant program. It will be held in the Niles North parking lot along Old Orchard Road on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Donations will be accepted the day before on Friday, 9/27 and the Saturday morning of the rummage sale. The drop off will be in a truck parked in the lot during the day and early evening hours. If anyone has items to donate, we would gladly accept them. We’re asking for gently used items and no electronics or computers or any items that require plugging in to an electrical outlet. It would help us greatly if items can be appropriately priced before drop off. Clothing will not need to be priced because they will be sold by the bagful.
Contact Gail Y. Paskind, President of Niles North Fine Arts Parents & Patrons for any questions. Email us at info@nnfap.org or call (847) 676-1235.
