NCDA Presents
THE FIREBUGS
by Max Frisch
Students: Marissa Bee, Daquan Haskins, Charles Williamson, and Caleb Williams
Alumni Guest Artists: Briyan Moreno
Rehearsal Project Instructor: David Elias
Across the city, arsonists worm their way into respectable people's homes only to burn them all down. It's a plague. And we don't know why. But Biedermann is no fool. She can spot an arsonist from a mile away. These two strangers with troubled pasts who turn up on her doorstep asking for a spare room can't be arsonists. They're too polite. Like her. Everybody is far too respectable to act on their suspicions. The Fire Bugs explores how moral lethargy can invite evil in - even encouraging you to give it a warm blanket and a nice dinner.

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.
Don’t miss this unforgettable production featuring several of our talented alumni!

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.
