Theatre School Season
Ticket Prices: Adults $12, Students $9
Each season, the Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents four productions that give students the opportunity to use the knowledge they have gained
in our classes and summer camps. Mounting a production from start to finish allows the students to gain key production knowledge, including valuable mentorship from an adult actor who performs alongside the students.
We hope to see you at one of our 2009-10 productions!
