Norfolk Collegiate School

I had only been to NCS one other time prior to this visit for the preview production of Hurrah Players «Honk». I can really only comment on the theater, not the school itself. However, my knowledge of the school is that it has a solid reputation.
The portion of the school which houses the theater is definitely newer than the other portion of the campus. My guess is within 10 years, but this is only a guess. The parking lot and surrounding area where I parked was well maintained. Landscaping was fine, but nothing special in my opinion.
Upon walking into the lobby of the theater I was immediately impressed by it’s simple elegance. Not huge, but presented very well with a nice size chandelier in the lobby. There is an area to serve refreshments at intermission which worked out well later in the evening. Restrooms were adjacent to the left. I found them new, or updated unsure. They were clean, had soap and paper towels.
Upon walking in the theater I was awe struck by the beauty of the venue. Seating for around 350 on red fold down chairs which proved very comfortable for the performance. Natural wood surrounds stage opening. Although the stage was not as wide as larger facilities it worked pretty good. However, the cast of «Honk» was somewhat crowded. Lighting and sound seemed appropriate the smaller theater.
Again, review is NOT for the school only the theater. I really enjoyed myself and the Norfolk Collegiate School theater. Our family had a great time and really enjoyed the show too!
