NO EXIT
Featuring: Alix Heugas
Alumni Guest Artists: Kara Eileen, Sharlene Salvatierra and Ellen Schiavone
Facilitated by Faculty Member: Brenna Horner
No Exit is an existential portrayal of Hell in Sartre's best-known play. People are free to do anything they want, if they are willing to accept the consequences. With this freedom comes a similarly radical personal responsibility; one must own up to one’s actions and deal with the fall-out. In No Exit, three characters trapped in hell are forced to come to terms with this concept.
Performances:
April 25 @ 7:30 pm (IDR - Alumni most welcome!)
April 26 @ 7:30 pm (Alumni Night)
April 27 @ 3:00 & 7:00 pm
Tickets are FREE and reservations required.

We've been preparing people for careers in acting since 1975. Graduates enter the job market with a strong foundation in the craft of acting, the business savvy to be successful in a competitive market, and a network of professional contacts.
Students work closely with a faculty of professional actors, directors, producers, and playwrights who are actively working in theater, film, and television. The intensive training offered by our school can make your dream of working as an actor a reality. Tuition at NCDA is competitively priced for the area and dramatically lower than similar acting classes in LA and NYC.
The National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).
