Community Tour

Bringing dynamic performances to audiences
who experience barriers to attending live theatre.


About the Community Tour

Performances are coordinated with and performed for audiences in non-traditional spaces such as homeless shelters, correctional facilities, community centers, low income senior centers and locations throughout rural Western North Carolina.  For schools, the Community Tour offers student workshops with teaching artists from the Ensemble.

The Community Tour also includes a series of ticketed performances for audiences at NC Stage.  Performances at NC Stage are staged in an intimate setting with all the lights on so our audiences may enjoy the performances as it is experienced at each tour location.

Inspiration

NC Stage is joining a growing community of theaters across the country inspired by the work of Ten Thousand Things, a theater company in Minneapolis founded by Michelle Hensley.  Ten Thousand Things has been sharing extraordinary theater with non-traditional audiences for over 26 years.

“Because theater is richer when EVERYONE is in the audience.”

~ Michelle Hensley, Artistic Director & Founder, TEN THOUSAND THINGS
