In response to the ongoing threat of COVID-19, the NSP board has made the difficult decision to suspend in person programming for the remainder of our season. The board was incredibly heartbroken to make this decision, but the health of our staff, students, company members and community is their top priority.
The NSP board is excited to announce our 2021 Musical Theatre Summer Camp will be held ONLINE! Click HERE for more details!
The NSP board hopes to kick off their new FALL 2021 season with their GALA honoring the lovely and talented EA McMath with entertainment by Ginny McMath!
Because we are not able to present our works on the stage for the next few months, we are going to be posting throwback photos and videos to our social media accounts from previous performances, workshops and guest artists! We hope that these memories will bring smiles to your faces and provide a little escape from these uncertain times.
Please know that we appreciate the love and support of all our patrons as we work through these difficult times. We will be happy to refund the outstanding portion of any season ticket or individual ticket upon request. However, we would also appreciate your consideration of any amounts due as a tax-deductible donation to the Playhouse, to assist in paying ongoing bills.
As always, thank you for your continuous support. Stay well and healthy. We’re very much looking forward to seeing you at the Playhouse again soon!

Internship Details:
*Students will be paired with an on-stage or and off-stage professional depending on which internship path is chosen.*
Students interested in participating on-stage for our summer musical will be given a free practical workshop on how to create an acting résumé, acquire a professional headshot, create an audition video, in person or video interview with producer and write a brief essay on why they want to be an intern for our summer musical and what they hope to gain from the experience. These materials will be submitted online to the director, who will make her casting choices.
Students interested in participating behind-the-scenes of our summer musical (i.e. costuming, scenic design, stage management, directing, music direction, lighting design, sound design) will be asked to write a brief essay on why they want to work backstage and what they hope to gain from the experience and participate in an in person or video interview with producer. Students will also be given a free practical workshop on how to create a résumé and take a professional headshot. These materials will be submitted to The North Street Playhouse for placement.
Following the last performance of our summer musical students will participate in a round table discussion wherein the students are asked for feedback on their experiences, ie: Were their expectations met? Did they gain practical knowledge from the instructors? Were they treated with respect? Were their questions answered sufficiently? Did they have fun? The night before the round table discussion, students are given questionnaires so that they may prepare their thoughts. Parents of students under the age of 18 are encouraged to share their thoughts as well.
The opportunity to shadow and understudy a professional performer and crew and observe their creative process is a unique and valuable experience for the student interested in making a career in the theater. Much will be gained by witnessing great performances that evolved from serious and dedicated mental and physical discipline, while participating in a project with a group whose passion is creating art to share with an audience. There are no other local organizations presenting this opportunity to our youth!
