RACE AND COSTUME CONTEST

Artlandish,
1019 E. Walnut
Theatre NXS aims to produce works of artistic and social significance with professional
expertise and creative passion, to develop an audience to support such
work, to discover and develop local talent, and to establish a professional
theatre in Columbia, MO.
The implications of the sound of the name, "Theatre In Excess," are intentional. Theatre NXS will bring a challenging new voice to Columbia Theatre. It will embrace music, dance and a variety of live performance.
Theatre NXS will seek to draw audience members into their own experience of theatre, one that will be entertaining and rewarding.
Help Theatre NXS Secure a Permanent Home
From the very beginning, the Theatre NXS business plan envisioned a smart, diverse, eclectic theatre featuring a permanent black-box space with rehearsal/classroom studios.
Opportunity Knocks
A Columbia developer has offered Theatre NXS the chance to lease the building at 1020 Walnut St. (the old Lou’s Palace, formerly Cork & Dart). The location is at the heart of the North Village arts revitalization district and is positioned to be a centerpiece of this burgeoning District neighborhood. We will divide the space into a black-box theatre, rehearsal studios and a wine bar/cabaret, creating a sustainable mini-performing arts center, with space to produce challenging theatre, hold classes and rent out for special events.
Theatre NXS needs to raise $20,000 to make this dream a reality.
Donate $10,000 or more, and we'll name the theatre after you!
Theatre NXS Accomplishments
In its short life, Theatre NXS has accumulated an impressive record of artistic and community achievement:
• World premieres of several Don Nigro plays
• Regional premieres of George F. Walker plays
• Live music by local musicians at each production
• Strong, well-acted, challenging productions: "Theatre for grownups"
• A Columbia Office of Cultural Affairs grant funded our first show, George F. Walker's Tough!, at Blind Boone Community Center free of charge.
• Missouri Arts Council awarded Theatre NXS a grant to bring Robert “Wolfman” Belfour for an afternoon of “Blues in the Schools” at Hickman High School (co-sponsored by MO Blues) and a performance at Mojo's. Free tickets were distributed to low-income families through the Blind Boone Community Center.
