About

At Nantucket Stage Company (NSC), we empower youth with life skills learned through exceptional performing arts productions and education. We challenge young performers to grow through collaboration, creativity, and cultural understanding, offering opportunitiesthat inspire confidence, imagination, and connection. NSC is committed exclusively to providing high-quality performing arts education and performance opportunities for young people.

This Fall, our stage will come alive with Junior and Teen productions, giving performers of all ages the chance to step into the spotlight, grow their skills, and experience the thrill of live theatre. Our programs run year-round, including classes, workshops, immersive events, and participation in festivals, providing continuous opportunities for learning, exploration, and performance. Along the way, our youngest performers can discover the magic of theatre through imaginative, confidence-building experiences designed just for them.

Offerings include:

  • A curated season of new and classic theatrical productions presented throughout the year

  • Musical theatre performances for all ages

  • Plays and musicals with innovative interpretations and staging, chosen to inspire hope, ignite curiosity, and uplift the human spirit

  • Classes, workshops, and immersive events in the performing arts

We’re building a dedicated creative home where performers of all ages can develop their craft and audiences of all ages can experience inspiring, professional-quality theatre. Our internship program brings university-level teaching artists to work alongside young performers, fostering a vibrant, inclusive artistic community.
