On Tuesday, October 4, 2022, neighborhoods throughout Deer Park are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the 38th Annual National Night Out (NNO) crime and drug prevention event. National Night Out, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and co sponsored locally by the Deer Park Police Department, will involve over 16,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world.
National Night Out, a year long community building campaign, is designed to: (1) Heighten crime prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anti crime programs; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. Along with the traditional outside lights and front porch vigils, most cities and towns celebrate National Night Out with a variety of special citywide and neighborhood events such as block parties, cookouts, parades, festivals, visits from local officials and law enforcement, safety fairs, and youth events.
On October 4, 2022, residents in neighborhoods throughout Deer Park and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. Many neighborhoods throughout Deer Park will be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, and visits from Police, Fire, EMS, and city officials. National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer nation.

SWEENEY TODD
Stephen Sondheim’s award winning, heart pounding, musical thriller, tells the story of masterful barber Sweeney Todd as he returns to London to take his revenge against the corrupt judge who destroyed his life. In his vigilante quest, he meets the cheerfully unhinged pie shop owner Mrs. Lovett, who soon becomes an accomplice in his deadly schemes. Together, they sing their way through murder and mischief to the top of the food chain and will have you laughing hysterically one moment and gasping in surprise the next.

ALWAYS…
PATSY CLINE
Back by overwhelming popular request, ALWAYS...
PATSY CLINE is a moving and tuneful tribute lovingly told through the eyes of Patsy’s best friend and biggest fan, Louise. This crowd pleaser is the touching musical that follows the girl with the big voice and even bigger heart from live radio through her fame at the Grand Ole Opry, to her early tragic death. Patsy’s vocal stylings are reborn in heart-felt renditions of “I Fall To Pieces,” “Crazy” and over 20 more of her fabulous hits. Always, in our memories! Always, a star!

YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE!
I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE! is the witty musical revue that pays tribute to all of us who have ever failed at love, and to those who refuse to fail. From dating and waiting, to love and marriage, through in laws and infants, to pick-up tips for seniors, the mating game is celebrated in all its glorious pain and joy. An insightful and hilarious musical, this celebrated comedy is the second-longest running OffBroadway musical of all time and will have audiences shouting, "This is my life!” April 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, May 5, 6, 2023
THE MUSIC MAN
THE MUSIC MAN follows fast talking salesman Harold Hill who spells out “trouble” in his best sales pitch as he cons the people of River City into organizing a boys’ band, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. Harold doesn’t count on falling in love with the town librarian however, and what ensues is a fast paced romantic comedy the whole family will love!
