Tickets now on sale!!!
Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill, by Lanie Robertson. “It's 1959 in a seedy bar in Philadelphia, and Billie Holiday is giving one of her last performances interlaced with salty, often humorous, reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the icon and her music four months before her death.” Hosted by Sunset Presents in Studio 105, June 13-23.
The Tragedy of Hamlet: Shakespeare in the Vines returns to Blue Fox Cellars, as we present an examination of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy through raw storytelling in an immersive setting. Featuring a small ensemble and an aggressive adaptation, this experimental production will re-define your perception of the tragic Prince of Denmark. Playing June 27-July 14.
NCTC Theatre Lab Presents: A New Works Reading Festival. Three-to-five new works over three days, read aloud by our summer company and the NCTC Artistic Team. Hosted at Monterey’s Stanton Center, come be a part in the new play development process through active post-show conversations with the director, cast, and playwrights! Playing July 19-21.
