Art’s Impact Program

North Country Center for the Art’s IMPACT Program, a Touring Children’s Theatre Troupe, performs a different fairytale every week for six weeks, starting after 4th of July weekend. Each production travels to different venues throughout the Granite State and features a cast of 5 professional actors, plus set pieces, both children and adults alike. All of our shows are part of the “Magic of Fairytale Series” with adaptations, music, & lyrics written by NCCA Executive Artistic Director, Joel Mercier.
