Mission
NACL is an acronym for North American Cultural Laboratory. NACL is also the chemical formula for Sodium Chloride, or Salt. The NACL molecule is essential to human life, but on an atomic level, its elements can be deadly. NACL has the power to melt ice, to disintegrate iron, to make wounds sting. NACL also brings out the natural flavor in your food, and acts as a preservative.

NACL is a New York theatre company founded in 1997 by American director Brad Krumholz and Canadian performer Tannis Kowalchuk. The NACL Mission is threefold:

...to create and perform original theatre that is process oriented, actor -generated, corporeal, and director-devised in Sullivan County, NYC, and in national and international venues

...to practice and teach NACL's ongoing performer training in rehearsals and in laboratory and educational environments, developing and documenting research in the field.

...to maintain a theatre work center and artists' residence at NACL for exchange between local and international theatre creators, scholars, and local audience communities. The NACL Catskill Festival of New Theatre advances the development and life force of the independent theatre community from within and without through audience education and artistic exchange.
