"JERSEY VOICES" OPENS THIS FRIDAY IN CHATHAM!

 

Watch the trailer! JERSEY VOICES July 28 - Aug. 6   JERSEY VOICES 2023 opens this weekend at the Chatham Playhouse. ALL TICKETS ARE ONLY $15.   BUY TICKETS   This year's JERSEY VOICES features 7 pieces by local New Jersey playwrights exploring themes of the relationships we have with our family, our past selves, reality, and the world around us. The evening is a great opportunity to see brand new stories brought to life by talented members of our NJ theater community. We welcome you to join us as we explore the joys of live, original theater in The Chatham Playhouse, where JERSEY VOICES has provided a venue for New Jersey playwrights to showcase their work since 1995. There’s a risk in coming to see any author’s new work, whether you’ve heard of them before or not. It’s brave and courageous, and we’re grateful our audience trusts us enough to share the experience. Jersey Voices has presented the work of more than 90 authors in their 29 years. WHEN: July 28, 29, August 4, 5 at 8pm and August 6 at 7pm WHERE: Chatham Playhouse, 23 North Passaic Avenue, in Chatham.   All tickets are $15.     TITLES, CAST & PRODUCTION TEAM   Theater Creations Camp 2023     Calling all 7- to 10-year-olds who love performing!
