The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey

I come to Drew University every couple of months to see the latest production by NJ’s great theater company. The theater is small, so there’s not a bad seat, and the productions are A1.
This season I saw Shakespeare’s «The Tempest», and last night the comedy farce «Wittenberg». Both shows were fabulous and so entertaining. Please make it your business to check out this fantastic theater company and save yourself the trip into NYC, and get free parking.
I also highly recommend Belissimo Restaurant in town for dinner before the show.

I have been a season ticket holder at this establishment for more years than I can remember. It is something my father and I love to do. They always have a variety of shows in their season lineup which include comedies, tragedies, and of course a traditional Christmas production. Every so often they do hit a sour note, but on the whole is very enjoyable. I recently had the joy of attending their outdoor theater. They played «the learned ladies.» It was exceptional. The acting was superb crisp timing for comedic lines, an excellent elocution. The costumes were to die for. They were exceptional and genuinely captured the tone of the play which is a comedy/​satire. The scenery was also brilliant and simple.
The outdoor theater location is wonderful in that there are no bad seats. The problem is a mosquitoes. But if you bring bug spray you will be fine.
I plan on seeing his production again as soon as possible.
And I will continue my membership to the Shakespeare theater.
I highly recommend that you go too. I’ll see you there :-)

There is not a bad seat in the house and I’ve never seen a bad play here.
The season runs from Memorial Day through New Years and there is also a June outdoor theater event (Shakespeare).
Even though this is called Shakespeare Theater, it is NOT exclusively Shakespearean plays (though at times you can see very rarely performed plays here such as the recent Pericles).
I’ve also seen Noël Coward’s plays, A Dangerous Woman (life of George Eliot, the novelist) and Thornton Wilder’s’ Our Town.

Being in NJ for business I made a point of taking in the recent production of «Pericles». As with other plays I have seen here the acting and production quality was excellent. The set was really extraordinary and costumes were wonderfully imaginative. I have come to expect a high level of professionalism from this company and they keep delivering it. Thanks for a terrific Holiday Gift.

Watched Fallen Angels last night here, the play was great. The actors were amazing and the play was funny. The theater is nice, the staff was super friendly and helpful. We sat in the balcony section and didn’t miss a thing. I watch a Comedy of Errors in the outdoor theater last year and it was amazing. Overall amazing performances, great price, and great way to spend an evening.

Playboy of the Western World, this is a good production and this is probably the best repertory theater in New Jersey. The theater has good sight lines and acoustics. The direction is usually good and the actors are professionals. I have to admit, I wish they’d do less Shakespere and keep longing for some Scandinavians– but please not A Dolls House!

Always does quality productions, can get cold so bring a sweater! They do outdoor performances in the summer which are fun to go to. They don’t just do Shakespeare, so check it out for high quality theatre of various natures

Everything produced here is a marvel. So close to NY without the pretensions and expense, this gem has survived despite the overwhelming decline in the intellect of the nation and the dollar.
