New Shows Planned - Auditions and Performances Now Set
New Century Players is pleased to announce some new shows for the coming season. We will be presenting Arsenic and Old Lace as a staged reading and an adaption of A Christmas Carol as a staged reading. Arsenic and Old Lace will be presented July 19 to July 28. A Christmas Carol will be presented in December. Please go to our Current Season page for more details.
Next Show - Arsenic and Old Lace (a staged reading)
New Century will be presenting five performances in two separate venues, of a staged reading of Arsenic and Old Lace.
Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him! Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.

Love, Loss and What I Wore a Success!
Cast and crew of Love, Loss and What I Wore
Having been prevented from bringing new productions to our audiences for over two years, it was wonderful to finally bring you Love, Loss and What I Wore in July of 2023. And what a success! Several sold-out performances. Having lost access to our venues due to COVID complications, New Century Players utilized a new venue, renting time in Chapel Theater for the two-week run of the show.
Thank you to all who came!

Looking for New Members
New Century Players Board members are looking for volunteers from the community to be part of the NCP Planning Committee. The committee is looking for ways to ensure the future of the community theater group, as it continues to bring top quality plays to the greater Milwaukie area.
The committee will meet once or twice a month to discuss fundraising and sponsorship ideas, along with figuring out what kinds of plays the community would like to see. The committee will also look at NCP’s existing structure and policies to see if there are gaps to be filled.
