“I just can't say enough wonderful things about the program. My girls love it, and we can't thank you enough. See you next summer!” says Pauline Papapietro, Cranford. Mindi Kaunfer of Springfield says, “I have seen my son grow as an actor year after year with the Theater Project Junior group right in front of my eyes! At 15, Adam has been acting for 5 years and has several school leads from the confidence the summer theater has provided him.” Veteran participant Mark Lynch of Cranford, pictured below in TPJ’s 2014 production of Bugsy Malone, has been with the program for five years: “TPJ was the best acting experience I had -- the difference from Theater Project Jr than any other place I performed is the people there are kind and just want to help you.”
