NCTC is not a good theatre and my daughter ha the worst experience EVER since she started theatre.

★★★★★Sophia Mecham

NCTC isn’t just a theater — it’s a second home. Through every high and low, the staff at Newington Children’s Theatre Company has always been there for me. They’re not only supportive and kind, but also genuinely passionate about helping each child grow, both on and off the stage. At NCTC, it’s never just about the performance — it’s about the people. The staff truly takes the time to get to know every kid, making sure each role is thoughtfully cast and every child feels seen and valued. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned performer, everyone is welcomed with open arms. The environment is inclusive, encouraging, and full of joy. Thanks to NCTC, I’ve grown in confidence, made lifelong friends, and created memories I’ll carry forever. If you’re looking for a place where kids can express themselves, build skills, and be part of something truly special — I can’t recommend NCTC enough.

My children have had the best experience at this Theatre. Being so young there are not many options so this has been the highlight of their year. Amazing staff. Fantastic production. Prices won't break the bank. The exposure to drama and stage has been so worth it. Added bonus, my children are nuerodivergant/autistic and the staff didn't even hesitate. My kids have done great with the structure of their program. I am beyond impressed with the staffs ability and inclusiveness. So thankful to all involved.

Great place for my son to learn acting and have an awesome time. I'll love how they can participate in the session where they are featured in the older kids play and then also in the session where they get to star in a play for their age (7).

★★★★★Erika Bronyah

My daughter has had the best time doing shows with the NCT. It never ceases to amaze me how they can teach a bunch of little kids lines, songs, dances and where to stand on a stage. The first stage has the most adorable productions and every little kid gets a big part. We really loved their summer camp too, it's so great that they can learn a play in a week and perform it for all their friends and family. I would recommend this children's theater to anyone with young kids.
