Aluminati Productions Presents
THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT
By Stephen Adly Guirgis
Directed by Ricardo Frederick Evans
Set in a time-bending, darkly comic world between heaven and hell, Stephen Adly Guirgis’ The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reexamines the fate of the New Testament’s most notorious sinner through a lens that’s both thought-provoking and unexpectedly hilarious. This bold, contemporary courtroom drama brings saints, sinners, and everyone in between to the witness stand—challenging our ideas of justice, forgiveness, and the gray area in between. Described by The New York Times as “fierce,” “eloquent,” and “winningly accessible,” Guirgis’s powerful play invites us to question what it means to judge—and be judged.

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).
Classes begin on May 12, 2025. Don’t miss out!
