"NTI is a practicum. It is your laboratory. It is a place to test your limits. It is a place to exceed your own expectations and perceptions of what those limits may be. It is a place to redefine what you believe is possible, the possibilities of what can happen in a day, and the possibilities of what can happen on the stage." - Rachel Jett, NTI Artistic Director
