North Coast Repertory Theatre directors Merrick Yra and Abigail Camerino dropped by KHUM Studio to talk about The Imaginary Invalid, NCRT’s fresh take on a classic farce (an adaptation of an adaptation) that somehow feels more timely every year. We dig into why this 350-year-old story still lands: a main character convinced they’re dying, doctors happy to keep the billable panic alive, and a family caught in the churn. Expect big laughs, sharp commentary, and a surprisingly modern bite.

NCRT has simplified ticketing so you can choose the option that fits you best - no extra steps, no awkward questions.

Supporter Ticket - $25

If you’re able, choosing Supporter helps keep NCRT sustainable, and it comes with a few thank-yous:

- Express Entry- Personalized recognition for your support- No exchange fees if you need to switch your performance date

Discount Ticket - $20

The Discount Ticket is available to anyone who needs it - no qualifications or explanations. You’ll get the same seats, the same show, and the same welcome. It’s simply a way to make theatre more accessible.

If you buy a Discount Ticket and later need to change your date or move seats, there’s a $1 per ticket exchange fee.

New: Pay What You Want Thursdays

For Thursday “Date Night” performances (no date required), the Discount Ticket becomes Pay What You Want, starting at $10. Choose what works for your budget - another way we’re keeping theatre open to everyone.
