OUR MISSION: THINK THEATER.
TRUST US TO ENTERTAIN YOU, EVEN IF THE TITLE IS NEW TO YOU.
The Theater Project brings you new or lesser-known plays, many by local artists and many that address thought-provoking themes of our times. Our events include opportunities for audiences to discuss the plays and topics addressed with each other and the cast. We invite you to enjoy the exchange of ideas as you “think theater.”
Located in Union Township, NJ, The Theater Project is an incubator for rising talent and a showcase for NJ artists, providing 200 opportunities each year on stage and off to writers, directors, designers and actors though our many programs: a three-production mainstage series, a monthly staged reading of a work in progress that offers audiences an opportunity to dialogue with the author; a summer musical theater program for children; a monthly playwrights' script development workshop; an annual competition for New Jersey high school playwrights, and two annual festivals of one-act plays showcasing area authors.
We ALWAYS have new programs in development, such as ARK -- Actors Reading with Kids -- being piloted in collaboration with the Union Public Library, an APPRENTICE PRODUCTION to showcase young talent, and BLACK LIVES/BLUE LIVES, an interactive program to encourage discussion of a challenging topic.
WE MAY BE LOCKED DOWN, BUT WE ARE ZOOMING:
Virtually every one of these programs has been transferred to a virtual platform.
