The oldest social event in Nakoma is the Twelfth Night Theater. Founded in 1923, the evening presents a cocktail hour, heavy appetizers, and original musical comedy, written and performed by neighbors. Twelfth Night occurs in early spring and fledgling actors are encouraged to contact a league member to learn more and join the cast! 

Historically, the first Nakoma families gathered for a potluck Christmas dinner in 1916. Later, the party became much more elaborate, attracting a crowd of about 350 neighbors! The evening began with cocktail parties for new residents and a dinner at the school was followed by a ceremony to welcome new residents to the neighborhood. Neighbors presented humorous skits and finally, everyone danced to the music of a live orchestra.

Through plagues, wars, the Great Depression, and recessions, the 12th Night Players have been here to liven up these deep winter months.

This year, the Nakoma League has dedicated fundraising efforts at 12th night to benefit the neighborhood stone project.

A very special thank you to Metcalfes Market for their dessert sponsorship!
