nctc does not have a 'summer' break. they go from one season right into the next. plus between productions, the conservatory uses the theatre for a one or two week run. not between every production but sometimes. plus they need time to install a new set and they also are generous with the number of previews. and wouldn't a subscription to previews be less expensive?

Both shows end June 28. The new season starts sept 5. That is a summer hiatus of two months. They rarely have shows in July. Occassionally a show starts in mid august.

I don't know how many theaters are used by youth conservatory and I doubt that they occupy theaters at night an d weekends when show run.

there are only three theatres in the complex. the decker main stage, the walker, and the small back theatre which is used for cabaret or one person type shows. the back theatre is where the conservatory performs most of the year, but in the summer they use the main stage.

You really seem to have an ax to grind with NCTC. Did Ed Decker kill your dog, or something?

They have multiple conservatory programs going on simultaneously. It's mostly in the daytime, but there are a handful of evening performances. The theaters are tied up with these programs, making them unavailable for other shows to rehearse, to have sets built, etc.

I've going to new conserv for almost 20 years. Same with act and I don't like much that perloff has been in charge. As for new conserv, I am pissed at the muni subscription price. And I've been a bit unhappy at the lack of gay content in some of there selections. There are plenty of straight theaters to show other desert cities and don't theaterworks do it last year? And both yellow and beautiful launderette had way more hetero kissing and fondling on stage than a quick gay kiss in both of those shows.

And if you are going to do repeat shows like r&j, I think there are better shows. I guess they won't do love valor compassion (99 season) again because of the nudity. And I would like to see kiss of the spider woman musical there. Or Party which I think was a commercial run at the theater under rubys about 15 years ago.
