🖤 AUDITIONS ARE TONIGHT! 🖤 We are beyond excited to officially begin The Addams Experience! 🕸️
We’re also thrilled to welcome back Renee Heather Haley to lead a special Audition Workshop focused on how to manage audition jitters, build confidence, and ACE your performance!
Renee is a professional NYC-based actor and proud NESPA alum who is heading to MGM in Atlantic City for her next gig! We are SO excited to have her back in the studio to share her experience, wisdom, and talent with our performers.
Get ready to have fun, take risks, and show us what you’ve got!
Let’s get spooky. Let’s get weird. Let’s get ADDAMS. See you tonight! 🕷️🕸️

Ten years ago, we opened NESPA’s very first summer production: Grease at Quannapowitt Playhouse.
They were the original cast—the OGs in every sense of the word. That incredible group inspired a new way of doing theatre for us. They helped create a place where we weren’t just putting on shows—we were building a family.
We were small, but mighty. Today, those young performers are adults, and it’s been such a joy to watch the people they’ve become. This summer, a few of them are even returning to NESPA as staff, bringing everything full circle.
This weekend, we open Grease for the third time.
Ten years have passed, but we still feel the presence of that first cast and the second one too! Their laughter, their energy, and the foundation they helped build are still woven into who we are today.
There’s something incredibly special about connections that last a decade.
Congratulations to the third generation of Grease. You’re now part of a story that began ten years ago, and we can’t wait to see where it takes you.

Week One! Congrats to our minis for a fabulous showcase. We are so proud of you all! Best. Summer. Ever.

What Kind of Kid Thrives at NESPA? Here’s a secret...
There isn’t just one type of theater kid.
At NESPA, you’ll find:
✨ The kid who has been performing in the living room since they were three.
✨ The kid who is shy at school but comes alive on stage.
✨ The kid who loves to sing.
✨ The kid who loves to act.
✨ The kid who isn’t quite sure where they fit in yet.
✨ The kid who wants to make friends.
✨ The kid who needs a confidence boost.
✨ The kid who can’t stop creating, imagining, and dreaming.
The truth is, theater isn’t just for outgoing kids. It’s for curious kids. Creative kids. Kind kids. Kids looking for a place to belong.
Some students join because they love performing.
Others join and discover they love performing.
But almost all of them leave with something even more important: confidence, friendships, and the knowledge that they can do hard things.
đź’š At NESPA, every voice matters.
đź’š Every personality has a place.
đź’š Every child belongs.
Who do you want to be this fall?
