New Castle Playhouse The Thrill of Live Theater in the Comfort Of Your Own Backyard! At the New Castle Playhouse we believe the theater should reflect the community it serves.
(1)

Founded in 1958 as a non-profit organization, the New Castle Playhouse has since become one of the country's oldest ongoing community theaters. Now in its permanent home in New Castle's historic South Side, the NCP continues to deliver professional quality performances from a vast range of theatrical works; beloved musicals like "Fiddler On The Roof", "The Sound of Music", and "The Wizard of Oz", and edgier gems like "Blood Brothers", "Assassins", and "RENT". Our intimate Annex venue offers the best of comedic and dramatic plays, ranging from the dramas of Tennessee Williams to the uproarious comedies of Neil Simon, Woody Allen, and other master playwrights. The NCP also proudly produces Children's Theater for young audiences, such as the annual Stars of Tomorrow talent show, holiday shows, and is home to the NCP Mini Stars. With this in mind, we subscribe to non-traditional and color-blind casting. We Invite the community of New Castle and surrounding areas to become part of our family no matter what ethnic, affectional orientation or disability. We want you to use your life experiences to help us enrich the art that is the core of our mission . Backstage and on-stage we need you. Our auditions are open to all. See you at the next show!
