La Vie Boehme! Jonathan Larson’s iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that shaped a generation of audiences and taught us all to measure our life in love. Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, it has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences. It follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical. Featuring the NCC Summer Theatre professional company; directed by Bill Mutimer with musical direction by Lucille De Masi Kincaid and choreography by Tina Williams. For group rates and special accommodations, contact the Box Office at 484-484-3412. Recommended for mature audiences.

An epic work of stunning poetry by a Pennsylvania native, Fences has been hailed by critics as “a blockbuster piece of theater” and “the strongest, most passionate American dramatic writing since Tennessee Williams.” A timeless story of fathers and sons, husbands and wives, dreams and realities, Fences is a true American classic.

"There was a star that danced, and under that I was born." With a zest for love and a love of life, Shakespeare’s spirited comedy offers a tale of two courtships. Beatrice and Benedick elevate the art of the quarrel in their duel of glittering wordplay, while Claudio and Hero have their true love put to the test. Dastardly villains are challenged by comical officers, as honor and desire collide to create much ado about laughter and love. Ages 6+

Jon Lovitz is among the best-known comedians of the last four decades, and a celebrated star of Saturday Night Live (SNL), where he gained initial fame as a cast member from 1985 to 1990 and earned two Emmy nominations. His hilarious, memorable SNL characters included Hanukkah Harry, the Devil himself, and Tommy Flanagan of Pathological Liars Anonymous (“Yeeeeah, that’s the ticket”) – but his work after is a trove of memorable performances that demonstrate Lovitz’s indelible mark on comedy culture, his inventive improv, and singular style.
