Join the company that most recently  created the Off-Broadway musical Rated P for Parenthood as they showcase some of their favorite numbers and some of their hidden talents for their very own South Orange/Maplewood community—the place the New York Times called "where Broadway comes home to sleep."

Midtown Direct Rep company members include two- time Tony Winner, Norbert Leo Butz, Tony Nominee, Christiane Noll, and "Law & Order; SVU" regular, Joel de la Fuente, among others. The Company is managed by Co-Artistic Directors Sandy Rustin and Jeremy Dobrish, Managing Director
