The New Bern Civic Theatre (aka NBCT) operates out of an historic old theatre which was built back in 1910, when it was known at the Athens Theatre. At that time it hosted silent movies, vaudeville shows and travelling theatre groups. After many years of neglect during the 70’s, the NBCT bought the old building and set about restoring it so that it could once again bring the joys of theatre to New Bern. Today the theatre hosts a full calendar of entertainment including live drama performances, musicals, junior theatre and much more. Aspiring young actors can also enroll for performing arts workshops.
