Northeast Texas Community College Theatre Department is excited to bring to you two fabulous plays for our 2022/2023 theatre season. Our first play, Almost, Maine, will be December 1-3, 2022 in the Whatley Center. A LITTE ABOUT THE PLAY: “Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.”

The Northeast Texas Community College Soccer teams traveled to Tyler Saturday, September 10th to take on the Nationally ranked TJC Apaches. TJC would defeat the NTCC Women by a score of 3-0 and defeated the Men 4-1. The Women’s team from TJC is ranked number 2 in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) rankings and the Eagles team put in a great effort while still short handed in goal, with the starter still out of commission. TJC would score early on a penalty kick and the Eagles would keep it close most of the game until the Apaches scored their final goal with just under five minutes to play. Maria Whitaker (Kilgore, Texas) would have a good performance against the highly ranked Apaches in the loss, said Coach Heather Brady. The Eagles played well as a team and were able to put four shots on goal, but unfortunately came up short.

As interim Head Coach he picked up a playoff victory then.
