Original mission: The Neighborhood Theatre Collective is a Silver Lake based artist collaborative that produces theatre which reflects honest, humorous and heartfelt issues from culturally-varied neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles.

​

We aspire to keep live theatre relevant by presenting diverse community-based stories that are intimate, socially conscious, visceral and accessible.

​

To maintain the vitality of theatre, T.N.T.C. partners with like-minded organizations and institutions that are adventurously creative and equitable. Together we strive to make our work unique,

and create inspired change through collective action.

​

Our dedicated Kid’s Program is focused on developing self-awareness, courage, and self-esteem through the art of live theater production.

We guide student performers to empower themselves and each other to create “story” by sharing critical parts of themselves: their emotional needs and concerns, andstruggles and questions within their particular community.

​

Our work culminates in performance that is joyful, educational, and enlightening for the actor, and the audience.
