Some of the best in Las Vegas-produced theater has been staged by UNLV’s Nevada Conservatory Theatre.

The live theatrical arm of the College of Fine Arts has accomplished this through the students of the theater program working side by side with experienced professionals.

NCT turns 25 this week, and on September 26, its season begins with Henrik Ibsen’s character study, Hedda Gabler.
