Our Future.

The concept for the National Design Portfolio Review was born at USITT in 2010 with the first NDPR event taking place shortly after in May 2011. The mission of NDPR is to introduce talented, emerging, theatrical designers from the finest graduate training programs in the country to established producers, artistic directors, directors, and designers from across the country. The event serves as a formal welcome to the profession as postgraduates to present their portfolios and have an opportunity to dialogue and engage with the finest artisans in the profession. The glistening Grand Ballroom of the Bohemian National Hall has long served as the venue for this celebratory introduction, and welcome, to the profession.
