New Conservatory Theatre Center · Private
The New Conservatory Theatre Center runs summer drama camps out of its three-theater San Francisco facility, including the teen-focused Theatre 360, where campers explore acting, improvisation, puppetry, stage lighting, scenic painting, and stage management. Students rehearse and perform a full-length production, going through auditions, tech, and dress rehearsals. NCTC's conservatory has taught Bay Area theater education for over 40 years.

★★★★★Barbara McBrideRUTHLESS is one of the funniest shows I have seen in the Bay Area. The cast is amazing. Their voices great. All aspects of the show come together to provide an experience you won't forget.
★★★★★Rhett BurdenFrom the moment you step inside the New Conservatory Theatre Center (NCTC), you feel it—this is more than just a theater. It’s a vibrant, inclusive home for creativity, growth, and community. Located in the heart of San Francisco, NCTC’s mission to support artists, youth, and the queer and allied communities isn’t just words on a wall—it’s felt in every class, every conversation, and every corner of this beautiful space. I recently completed their Adult Scene Study class with the incomparable Jeffery Draper, and I can honestly say it was one of the most enriching and inspiring experiences of my adult life. Whether you’re just stepping into acting or sharpening your skills, this class offers a fun, supportive environment where you can take bold risks, discover new layers of your craft, and connect with other passionate creatives. Each week, we explored character, motivation, and storytelling in ways that were both challenging and rewarding. Jeffery’s direction was equal parts insightful and encouraging—he meets you where you are and helps you rise. The space itself is warm, professional, and beautifully maintained—from the intimate black box theater to the cozy lobby and rehearsal rooms. If you’re looking for a place to grow as an artist, to be seen and supported, or just to try something new in a welcoming environment, run to NCTC. Their adult drama classes are exceptional, and the community they’ve built is something truly special. This is San Francisco theater at its finest. Bravo, NCTC!
★★★★★Rose HalbachWe enjoyed the play The Gulf last night (October 24th). It was a wonderful experience in a small theatre room. You were up close to the actors, it felt like you were in a living room. The play was well acted, a great script and was well described ahead of time. The staff were amazing as well. Highly recommend.
★★★★DENNIS TEIf your watching a show here, the seating side-to-side is really tight to one another, and the rows are also close together, so prepare to share intimate space with your neighbors. The nice thing about a small spaced theater is you can hear the actors very well, and see them as well.
★★★★★Elizabeth W. SayenSuch a cute theater! I must have walked past this one hundred times and did not know that such an inviting lively space existed in their basement. Saw a great performance of Avenue Q and really enjoyed it.
