NEW ORLEANS--NOCCA Theatre Arts Division announces the formation of NOCCA STAGE COMPANY, a new theatre company offering a contemporary take on American classic plays by authors ranging from Arthur Miller, Kauffman and Hart and Rodgers and Hammerstein, to Mamet, Shepard, Kushner, and Sondheim.  The purpose of the company’s formation is twofold; first, to provide a valuable opportunity for NOCCA students to work side by side with theatre professionals on live productions, and second, to provide New Orleans audiences the opportunity to enjoy and be excited by classic American Theatre in its fully realized form.  NOCCA STAGE COMPANY will utilize the values in modern American classic plays to also explore a wider variety of theatre including genres ranging from French farce to British comedy of manners.  Our aim is to recapture the excitement, thrills, and catharsis of classic American drama as though these productions were presented for the very first time.
