The Theater Project, Union County College's Professional Theater Company, will perform a showcase of original one-act plays  by local playwrights from The Theater Project’s Writers’ Workshop.

This year’s Kabaret also includes the first prize-winner of The Theater Project’s annual Young Playwrights Competition. Inclusion of The Tangerine Dress by Janine Puhak of Cranford forwards The Theater Project’s mission to develop the next generation of theatergoers and practitioners. Janine Puhak attends Mount Saint Mary Academy in Watchung.

The seven adult authors come from all over the state: Feet First by Joe Vitale (Denville), Coda by Rachel Rubin Ladutke (Nutley), Thought Police by Ed Lataro (Toms River) Til She Drops by Shane Mullery (Princeton), Love on Route 27 by Jewel Seehaus-Fisher (Highland Park), Under the Elephant by Ed Shakespeare (Lavalette), and Recycling Day by Pete Ernst (Palisades Park). All the authors are members of The Theater Project’s Playwrights Workshop, which also presents script-in-hand performances of original full-length plays.
