    NWP was founded in 1978 by a group of avid theatre personalities from the area.  We are a community theatre made up of neighbors, friends and co-workers; we are teachers, students, engineers, parents, pastors, laborers, retirees from all walks of life.  When a production is in progress, we become carpenters, technicians, artists, actors, singers, directors, seamstresses and creators!  Our payment is the opportunity to meet new friends, the applause of an audience, and the satisfaction of being part of a great production!
