Welcome to Neighborhood Theatre Group!

Meet Kristin and Aaron, co-founders of NTG. 

We met while working in Chicago’s theatre scene. After almost eight years in the city, we were ready to start our own theatre company, one that specializes in original theatre. We wanted to utilize all that we had absorbed in Chicago from new plays and musicals, to sketch comedy, to cabarets.  

We came to Ypsilanti so Kristin could get her master’s degree in arts administration at EMU. We didn’t know we were going to fall in love with Ypsi! Everyone here is so beautifully talented. Without Ypsi, and the incredible people we’ve been so lucky to meet, Neighborhood Theatre Group wouldn’t exist. NTG embodies all that we love about theatre: Collaborating, creating, and having a great time while doing it. Let’s do a show together, shall we?
