North Carolina Stage Company is an award-winning 124-seat, off-Broadway style professional theatre, producing 4-7 plays per season in the heart of Downtown Asheville. We have been committed to serving our audiences for over two decades.

Currently in its 22nd season, NC Stage was founded by Charlie and Angie Flynn-McIver in 2001. After establishing vibrant acting and directing careers in New York City, the couple returned to their home state of North Carolina to establish NC Stage Company, and have been producing professional theatre ever since.

NC Stage has been twice recognized for artistic excellence by both the prestigious American Theatre Wing and the North Carolina Theatre Conference George A. Parides Award and has also been voted best local theatre many years over in the Mountain Xpress Best of WNC Poll. NC Stage has hosted three world premieres.
