Silent Movie

Step into the roaring 1920’s when moving pictures on the silver screen were a modern marvel. In this land of Hollywood magic, our gang of over-the-top characters have just a few days to complete their silent movie or get kicked out by the studio.

A Nice Indian Boy

A meet-cute in a Hindu Temple is where Naveen and Keshav’s love story begins. Hopefully, meeting Naveen’s family won’t be where it ends. Can a Bollywood love story really happen in the Bay Area?

Mother Play

Packing and unpacking. Smashing cockroaches. And managing mom’s martinis. For queer siblings Carl and Martha nothing is constant but chaos. NCTC’s first production from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel.

Botticelli in the Fire

The streets are on fire, his friends are in danger, and Sandro Botticelli could be next. From the writer of “Prince Faggot”, comes a tale of sex, drugs, and censorship.

A Kidman Carol: A Gay Dementia on Australian Dames

Oh naur! Cate Blanchett is not in the mood for the season – awards season that is – until she’s visited by the spirit of three Nicole Kidmans. Can she learn the true meaning of the Oscars® before it’s too late?

A Case for the Existence of God

You wouldn’t expect a play with two guys sitting in a cubicle to be so transformative, but this is. Maybe there is some good left in the world.

Seussified Shakespeare

Seussified Shakespeare…where highbrow meets hilarious! What happens when Shakespeare’s iconic characters, plots, and poetry get a Dr. Seuss–style twist? Rhymes get wilder, language gets bolder, and serious drama meets delightful silliness.
