World Premiere
All of our readers agree that New Jersey entertainment is some of the very best. There are opportunities to see top shows in every part of the state with fine professional theaters, performing arts centers, and community playhouses.
New Jersey had a great year of entertainment in 2022. Patrons attended productions throughout the Garden State to enjoy a wide range of entertainment.
The spring entertainment season is in full swing and New Jersey Repertory Company (NJ Rep) in Long Branch is giving you a great reason to visit their theatre. The Forest, a world premiere by Lia Romero, is being presented through April 10.
Broadwayworld had the pleasure of interviewing Jenny O’Hara about her career and The Forest at NJ Rep.
Broadwayworld New Jersey had a great year in 2019 covering the Garden State entertainment scene with an array of articles for our readers to enjoy.
New Jersey Repertory Company (NJ Rep) continues their year-round theatre season with 'Lily,' a world premiere play written by Christopher Daftsios and directed by Sarah Norris. Daftsios addresses taboo issues in his first full-length play, and he also skillfully plays the show's main character.
The fall theatre season is in full swing and that means it's time to get your tickets, plan a meal out, and enjoy the fabulous offerings in the Garden State. From north to south, and east to west, there's musical theatre, drama, comedy, music, dance, and so much more.
New Jersey Repertory Company is at 179 Broadway, Long Branch.
The New Jersey Repertory Company was founded in 1997 by SuzAnne and Gabor Barabas. Its current central headquarters is the Lumia Theater located on lower Broadway in Long Branch. The theater's mission is to develop and produce new plays and to make a lasting contribution to the American Stage. Over two decades NJ Rep has produced 140 plays of which 125 have been world premieres. The theater has the additional distinction of having had many of its plays produced by other theaters around the country totaling over 200 subsequent productions in the U.S. and overseas. In 2012 and 2018 NJ Rep was the recipient of a National Theater Company Grant from the American Theater Wing that sponsors the annual Tony Awards for Broadway in recognition of its contribution to the repertoire of the American Stage. Only seven theaters have had this distinction. In addition, the theater has presented over 400 developmental readings as well as introduced 136 new works through its Theatre Brut Short-Play Festivals that focus on visionary and avant-garde works. In May 2016, NJ Rep acquired a new property, a 28,000 square foot school situated on 2 ½ acres and located just five minutes from its Main Stage Lumia Theater and two blocks from the Jersey Shore. The theater plans on gradually transforming the school in stages into a cultural center that will house additional performance spaces, an art cinema, an art museum, a rooftop café, an arts education wing, and residences for out-of-town actors and playwrights. When completed, the center will present a wide array of programs in acting, playwriting, art, sculpture, poetry, music, and photography and will serve as a catalyst for economic development and as the foundation for the cultural renaissance of the community.
