LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! Nolvert & Students
How Nolvert Keeps The Theater Running!
An equipment break down during a performance can be disastrous! Luckily Nolvert Garcia, the technical director, is a multi talented young man who not only performs his duties with a smile, but is also great at repairing and keeping equipment running. His flexibility stretches every dollar the theater receives. As a teacher and mentor Nolvert also enjoys interacting with THEARC kids.

An equipment break down during a performance can be disastrous! Luckily Nolvert Garcia, the technical director, is a multi talented young man who not only performs his duties with a smile, but is also great at repairing and keeping equipment running. His flexibility stretches every dollar the theater receives. As a teacher and mentor Nolvert also enjoys interacting with THEARC kids.
Here is how Dee, one of our interns, describes Nolvert’s teaching style. While pointing to what seems like one of hundreds of knobs on the sound board Nolvert asks “What’s this?” If the student doesn’t know, it’s okay because Nolvert isn’t afraid to let the students push buttons, turn knobs, try out the equipment and figure it out for themselves. And when they do there are plenty of high fives all around.
WHY IS THEARC NEEDED?
Shockingly, the U.S. Census Bureau 2005 American Community Survey shows that our nation’s capital has the highest rate of childhood poverty of any jurisdiction in the United States. Three out of ten children in Washington, DC live at or below the poverty line—.
WHAT IS THEARC?
Ten non profit partners at THEARC have come together under one roof to help children.
Since its opening in 2005, Town Hall Education, Arts and Recreation Campus-THEARC- has become a national prototype combining social, cultural and health services. It is a $27 million 110,000 square foot center on 16.5 acres of land in Southeast Washington, DC. THEARC provides a daily safe haven for the children it serves, with a wide range of arts, educational, recreational, health programs and services. In addition there is a 365-seat theatre (the only theatre east of the Anacostia River) a regulation size gymnasium, computer lab, art gallery, state-of-the-art music and dance studios.
