What We Do
- We nurture rising artists with opportunities to showcase their work and get the next generation excited about theater through our youth program.
- We entice non-theater-goers to become interested in live performances by providing forums for conversation between the entertainers and the entertained, building a community with renewed interest in live theater.
- We keep theater alive by offering affordable programming that connects to contemporary issues and shines light on current concerns.
What Our Partners Say
“With everything they do, The Theater Project brings energy and excitement to the NJ theater scene.”
“By tackling the unique, the bizarre, the difficult, the different, The Theater Project presents us with topics and suppositions that an audience might not normally contemplate.”
“The Theater Project leaves us sometimes laughing, sometimes discussing, and sometimes both... We are part of a devoted following of this exciting troupe. Join us. You will thank us.”
ALL ARE WELCOME
The arts have brought people together for thousands of years, and The Theater Project is a small part of that proud tradition. We strive to make everyone—audience, artists, and technicians—feel welcome and seen, regardless of age, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, or presence of a disability. We aim to provide opportunities for the open exchange of ideas as our contribution towards a more inclusive and compassionate society.
