About this cause

NTC’s policy is to make professional touring theater, of the highest quality, accessible to people of all ages in communities who have limited access to the Arts through geographic, economic, social or transport constraints. Theater, made in Northumberland for local rural and post industrial communities as well as a national audience, theater which is accessible and relevant, is innovative and entertains with integrity and humour. NTC also provides training and career support to emerging theater practitioners, through on-the-job training opportunities. NTC has been working locally in Alnwick to produce touring professional theater since 1978, offering a range of productions including classic text adaptations, Shakespeare, new writing, comedies and stories for children and family audiences.

How this cause brings people in the community together

NTC provide affordable, entertaining and challenging events that the whole community can access, enjoy and talk about afterwards. The experience and ownership of the performance becomes part of the shared history that is a basis for community - it enables the oldest and youngest members of the community to socialise, reduces isolation and loneliness and provides a sense of belonging for all ages.
