Theater

Whether you’re a seasoned scene stealer or prefer to paint the scenery, there’s a place for you in NMH’s lively theater community. 

A young man in a leather jacket gestures dramatically while standing behind a table, as a young woman in a sweater sits in a chair in the foreground, both on a dark stage with a black curtain in the background.

We view the theater as a place where we connect as a community to be entertained, challenged, and transformed. NMH’s theater program offers courses in acting, directing, playwriting, set design, and stage management that teach you key tenets, vocabulary, and techniques and how to bring them alive on stage.
