The Theatre of North is a national and international theater through his creations, his receptions and influence, but also a nearby theater, a living and sharing space for all. The National Drama Centre (CDN) is headed by the director Christophe Rauck.

Its logo depicts three blocks : the first one for the theater on the Lille Grand Place ; the second one for the theater and the birthplace of the NSC in Tourcoing, the Ideal ; the third one for the School of the North, at Lille, which trains actors.
