What We Offer
We believe a variety of entertainment is important to a community. Therefore, we offer several different types of live performaces to suit many different cultural tastes. We are sure you will find something that appeals to you among our offerings. Check out the possibilities below, and please contact us for further details.
Live Performances
NoNAC presents several live theater performances a year, ranging from comedy to dinner theater. Included are Chatauqua evenings with lectures and interviews with famous people portrayed by professional actors, musicals, dramas and adventure plays, and mystery dinner theater presentations. The performers and production crew are all drawn from our local talent and are amazingly entertaining. Most of the performances are staged at the Martin Hotel, a charming hotel/dining room/bar which has been listed on the National Historical Register.
Winnemucca Presents Live!, added in 2014, will be presenting live performances of classical music, school outreach programs and ballets.
Concerts
NoNAC offers several concerts annually, featuring live artists. Our own choral group, the Winnemucca Civic Chorus, presents a spring concert and the increasingly popular December Choirfest, plus life performances in July and during the Festival of Lights parade in early December. We also have frequent performances by professional groups and performers, including the Tuva Throat Singers from Tibet, Victoria Matlock, the Idaho String Quartet, and visiting music professors from the University of Nevada, Reno.
Childrens' Theater
Every summer, NoNAC presents, with Missoula Childrens' Theater, 2 one-week-long musical theater workshops. These take place in July and August, and feature local children in all the parts and as assistant directors. Two professional actor-directors from Missoula Childrens' Theater produce the performances, from intital casting, through rehearsals to two polished performances on Saturday. Children ages 6 through high school graduation participate and learn cooperation, singing, dancing, acting and having fun while performing. Previous plays have included Alice in Wonderland, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Princess and the Pea. For information, call Leann Barta 775-623-0767.
