The NTC Conservatory is a paid membership group for actors who want to improve their craft continuously in a supportive community environment. Directed by professional actress Maria Aparis, NTC’s Conservatory will help members learn and enhance long-lasting skills; build a structure of trust, fun and professionalism; and enhance the overall experience of theatre acting for members.

Appropriate for anyone - from those just beginning their theatre journey to seasoned veterans - the Conservatory’s twice-monthly classes will offer the fundamentals of stage acting, advanced studies of character development, playwright styles, and more - all while sharpening skills and building a repertoire of monologues and scenes. Learn more about the classes here.

Anyone may join by simply paying dues (there is no audition or screening process) of $480/year or $40/month. There will be a discounted membership price of $450 for people who pay upfront in full.

In addition, Conservatory members will be expected to attend all classes (with one absence per quarter allowed for any reason, in addition to emergencies), and they are also expected to attend a minimum of two NTC auditions per season. Being a Conservatory member is a commitment.
