Since its inception in 1963, NCTC has been providing quality, fun, hands-on educational opportunities for children and young adults, ages 5-25. Our programming throughout the year includes three major school-year musicals, a summer full of day camps with performances, and age-specific productions to accommodate all levels of experience. Upcoming highlights include the musicals “Matilda Jr.” in late March and “Shrek Jr.” in late June.

Our safe and engaging environment allows kids to explore their imaginations while learning how to take positive risks and conquer fears, building confidence and self-esteem. NCTC teaches kids life skills beneficial far beyond the stage. By supporting NCTC, associates your brand with the pulse of our community’s youth (and their families) and demonstrates that your business values NCTC as a cultural treasure in our community. While Newington is home, our programming draws hundreds of participants — plus their audiences — from all parts of Connecticut.

The theatre is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, allowing your donations to be tax-deductible (48-1290257). Your support will help us keep the “curtain raised” while helping children achieve their fullest potential. 

Longevity like ours is only possible with dedicated volunteers and supportive community allies. Please consider celebrating our 60th season with us. We look forward to partnering with you!
