NEW CIRCLE THEATRE COMPANY (NCTC) traces its lineage back to the Circle Repertory Company and the Circle Rep Lab. When Circle Rep closed its doors in 1996, Michael Warren Powell, the Lab's long-time Artistic Director, started a new company with the aim of continuing the work of Circle. Michael, along with many of the Circle family, founded the Lab Theater Company which eventually became Circle East. Michael continued his inspirational leadership of the company until his death in July 2016. New Circle Theatre Company was established to carry on this legacy.
