Aliso Niguel Theatre Company   

Aliso Niguel Theatre Company (ANTC) is a student-led performing arts program at Aliso Niguel High School that produces five major theatrical productions annually, including a fall play, Broadway-style showcase, repertory productions, and a full-scale musical. Since its founding in 2011, ANTC has provided students full leadership of all aspects of theatre production, including directing, acting, design, technical production, marketing, and stage management.

The program delivers real-world, experiential arts education in a professional-caliber setting, allowing students to build artistic and technical theatre skills while developing leadership, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities. Productions such as Metamorphoses, Fiddler on the Roof, The SpongeBob Musical, and Bye Bye Birdie reflect both artistic rigor and community engagement.

ANTC also functions as a safe, inclusive creative space, addressing growing student needs for belonging, expression, and mental wellness through meaningful artistic participation. Recent program demand has doubled, reflecting increased student interest and the essential role of performing arts in youth development.

With decreases in funding for the arts - and particularly school-based programs - ANTC relies primarily on funds raised by students and their families, including members of the 501(c)(3) Booster Club, to be able to deliver this life-changing program in our community.
