Dear friends of NCC Theatre,
We are so excited to have some good news to share: we are proud to announce the selection of these productions for our 20-21 school year season!
We will be following all governmental guidelines; for example, there will be fewer seats allowing for physical distancing, and we will also be livestreaming the shows for those who are not comfortable with being in the theatre yet. Sit on your sofa or in your comfy chair with your "beverage of choice" and enjoy the show! More details to follow.

November 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, 2020
Written by Ayad Akhtar
Directed by Bill Mutimer
It's 1985. Robert Merkin, the resident genius of an upstart investment firm has just landed on the cover of
Time
magazine. Hailed as "America's Alchemist," his proclamation that "debt is an asset" has propelled him to dizzying heights.
In Akhtar's telling, this story is partly about male status and power... but it's also about race, privilege, competing ideals and, of course, greed.
