North Carolina Summer Rep is one of the newest additions to the recently formed College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) at UNCG. North Carolina Summer Rep is a non-curricular theatre opportunity for current students, recent graduates, alumni, industry professionals, and the community at large. This program exists to provide a stepping-stone for current students, alumni, and community members into the professional world by providing meaningful connections and opportunities for all involved.  We will strive to continue bringing professionals to the Triad, and have them share their talents, knowledge, and expertise with our company members, and with the community.

North Carolina Summer Rep produces professional quality Musical Theatre, and specifically prides itself on producing “Staged Concert Versions” of large-scale works rather than “Fully Realized” productions.  It is through these concert productions that we are able to provide dynamic performing opportunities for not only our local and student actors, but also for our local and student musicians.  These productions typically boast orchestras of 20+ members placed prominently on-stage with the cast to create a fully integrated musical and theatrical experience.  Here the emphasis is firmly placed on music and story rather than on the bells and whistles that come with a fully realized production.  We are excited to be providing the community with a new type of musical and theatrical programming yet to be offered; right here in our own back yard.

North Carolina Summer Rep is committed to providing a unique 360-degree educational experience.  We believe strongly that no one in this industry is ever truly finished with learning.  The college student with no performing experience beyond High School theatre has plenty to learn from the professional who’s been in numerous Broadway shows, and the Broadway professional has just as much to learn from the community member who likes to perform for fun.  In this environment, we are offering an enriching educational experience for every single person involved, no matter where they are in their personal or professional development.
