Since its inception, NBT has been inviting students from the Clark County School District, charter, private and parochial schools to experience special matinee performances of their professional company productions, before they open to the public. In addition to the performance, a question and answer period is typically held, giving students a greater understanding of the creative process and the behind-the-scenes work that is needed to bring a fully-produced production to the stage. Support materials and teacher preparation guides are provided so that students are properly prepared for what they are about to see.
