In each show, our performers play a series of games in which they take suggestions from the audience and then perform scenes based on those suggestions. There are no scripts. No props. And nowhere for the performers to run. The only thing the performers can rely on is their quick thinking and faith in their fellow performers. N Crowd shows rely on the wonderful participation of its audience.

Currently The N Crowd performs at the Actors Center, located at 257 North 3rd Street. Shows are every Friday at 8 p.m. Check out our schedule for details, future shows, and dates.
