Don't miss out on a great opportunity to to look into the Theatre Program at Northeastern Junior College. Whether your interest in theatre is as a pleasurable pastime or as a life long career, NJC has a lot to offer.

First, you need not be a theatre major to participate in our program. The small size of NJC provides opportunities for anyone with interest and desire. We offer a well-rounded course of study in the basics of theatre, which will enable you to transfer to a four year school secure in the knowledge that you are well equipped to function in the highly competitive world of college theatre. In addition, we offer something larger institutions do not: immediate on-stage experience. At NJC the philosophy is that performance experience is the backbone of the education process. It is not uncommon for students to appear in as many as four fully mounted productions in major roles in their two year residence.

An Award Winning Program

At Northeastern Junior College, theatrical performances are produced and presented by the NJC Theatre. Performers are invited and encouraged to audition for two productions each year. The Theatre has won numerous awards over the years?in everything from directing to acting and sound design?at the state, regional and international festival levels.

While the theatre program itself is not very large, it is truly based on quality not quantity. Students who have attended Northeastern have gone on to universities with powerful theatre programs and been able to step into lead roles because of what they learn here. It is certainly worth your time to look at our program.
