Norfolk Community Theatre is exploring this question in our upcoming season by presenting three masterworks of science fiction: Little Shop of Horrors, A Wrinkle in Time, and War of the Worlds. Each production gives us characters who must undertake a journey of discovery in order to persevere.Live performance, like science fiction, has the power to transport you to another world. So, this season, we at Norfolk Community Theatre are going on an expedition and invite you to come along for the ride. Season tickets are available now. Or, to go on your own journey of discovery, consider taking part in a production. We offer training in all positions in the theatre, from acting and design to front of house and running the lights. Find out for yourself what is out there this season with Norfolk Community Theatre.
