The new school year is officially underway, and NTS is already buzzing with new energy: new faces, new voices, new encounters, and, above all, the beginning of new theatrical journeys.  We’re delighted to welcome our new cohorts for the 2026–2027 academic year and to see our second- and third-year students back at school.  These first few days are a chance to reconnect with the school, meet new people, get to know the faculty and staff, and find your place within our community. Because at NTS, every artistic journey is unique, but theatre is always about creating, learning, and growing together.  A warm welcome to all our students as you begin this new chapter!  Here’s to a new year of theatre, discovery, and shared experiences. Let the 2026–2027 season begin!
