| North Florida Community College strives to provide cultural opportunities through its Children's Theater for area elementary, middle and high school students. Through the years NFCC has brought a variety of age-appropriate programming that features live performances to North Florida. We've featured nine-foot tall puppets, musical shows, Shakespeare plays, and a myriad of other performances that entertain, educate and broaden the lives of our youth. If you have questions or comments, please let us hear from you. |
Opportunities for 2008-2009 season will be posted soon.

NOVEMBER 2007 - Poetry Alive performed poems - from classics to contemporary pieces - for more than 200 students and educators in the NFCC Fine Arts Auditorium. But this was no ordinary poetry reading; two performers gave a high-energy, dramatic reading of poems and got the audience involved and interested in poetry. The group also traveled to Madison County High School and performed for around 50 high school students and gave the same high-energy, theatrical poetry show that was such a hit at NFCC. Question/Answer sessions were held at the end of each show allowing the audience to find out more about the poetry, the performers and the performance.
