Join us at NCT where students will enjoy a Drama Day based around the story of Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters by diving into drama games, getting crafty with themed activities, and more!

Once upon a time, beneath the wide Zimbabwean sky, lived a man with two daughters—both beautiful, but with very different hearts. Based on the beloved book by John Steptoe and told in the rich tradition of African folktales, Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters is a sweeping, musical tale of kindness, inner strength, and the true test of character.

Featuring vibrant new music and lyrics by Taryn Janelle and LaRell Ross of Atlanta’s Synchronicity Theatre, this new adaptation brings Steptoe’s award-winning story to life with color, rhythm, and heart. Honored with the Coretta Scott King Award and the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award, this timeless tale is a celebration of culture, family, and the beauty within.

Drama Day students will also get to attend a performance of our mainstage production of Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters during the camp day!

NCT’s focus is always the healthy development of young people. We believe that the skills that students learn in the process of creative play will serve them in their everyday lives as well as provide a foundation if they choose to continue to more theatre work (which we hope they do!).

NCT offers free extended care for our families. Before Care opens at 7:30 am and After Care closes at 5:30 pm. You can add this service during registration or on a day-to-day basis during the camp week. Extended care consists of supervised unstructured free time. Students are welcome to bring a book or electronic device (that NCT is not responsible for). Additionally, NCT provides coloring sheets, board games, marble towers, etc for students who are interested. Also, during after care, we will also have a daily option of a G or PG-rated children’s movie playing as an activity choice.

*There may be two sections of this class. If participating with a friend/sibling (of the same age) and you would like them in the same class, please indicate this in the "friend request" question during registration. If you would prefer the sibling be in another section of the class (if possible), please indicate in that field.
