Dea Huston New Village Arts Theatre

The mission of Dea Huston New Village Arts is to create adventurous artistic experiences to awaken the human spirit. We provide:

•     a collaborative and inspiring home for performing and visual artists
•     a forum for laughter, discussion, and deeper thinking within our community
•     a training ground for future generations of art-makers and art-lovers

NVA attracts more than 30,000 patrons each year to experience professional theatre, musical and art events in the heart of Carlsbad Village. In addition to full seasons of plays and musicals featuring some of the best artistic talent in Southern California, NVA hosts talkback discussions and other supplementary events designed to create conversation and cultivate community. NVA offers robust theatre programs in partnership with local schools and strongly believes that theatre and arts experiences should be accessible to all people, becoming a recognized leader in equity, diversity, and inclusion in San Diego. NVA has been fortunate to receive support from the City of Carlsbad and other local businesses, who recognize the importance of a resident professional theatre company as a crucial component of an inclusive and creative community. In turn NVA prioritizes serving its community by presenting works that respect its diversity, engaging every citizen with relevant and inspiring stories.
