Director's Message

For the past two months I’ve been surrounded by noise.

Noise coming from teens chatting their hellos as they enter

rehearsal. Noise soaring down the hallway as voices try to find

the right notes. Noise from tap shoes banging on the ceiling

above me as I try to direct a scene, from saws and hammers as

the set is put together, from fifty plus teenagers eating dinner in

a cramped green room. Noise of lines being run backstage and

from dressing rooms as actors get ready. There has been noise

circling, surrounding, and encompassing me for eight weeks,

and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

George Gershwin once said, “I frequently hear music in

the very heart of noise.” I couldn’t agree more. For the noise

that has echoed through NCCT is the noise of hard work and

dedication. It is noise of budding relationships forming and

lifelong friendships being built. It is noise of determination to get

the dance move correct or the note just right. It is a noise of

passion, of community, of belonging. In that noise, I too hear

music.

We live in a noisy world. We are being bombarded every

day with noise from the news, from our work, from our families,

from our friends. It is difficult to muddle through all of that and

not become disheartened or overwhelmed. Hopefully today you

can sit back, tune out the rest of the world, and listen instead to

the incredible noise these teenagers have created. I hope you

too can hear their inspiring music.

- Lanni Luce West
