The Spark

A group of high schoolers wanted to direct and lead a musical, but we had no way of doing so. We raised over $2,000 dollars through cabarets to start our company.

2021

Our First Summer

Our team produced our first musical, Mamma Mia, in collaboration with the Dunellen Arts and Culture Commission. We established ourselves as a creator of free, outdoor summer musicals- produced by and for students.

Passing the Torch

Now in college, our team handed creative responsibilities to a new group of students, providing production support and mentorship to a new generation of ambitious artists.

Expanding to a New City

Pushing Our Limits

This year, we debuted our New Year, New Works festival in Chicago, and are planning two summer musicals in both New Jersey and Chicago.

Our Values

Our Core Values

Community Engagement

Through our show selection process, we are driven by unique opportunities in storytelling and the challenges that may come with bringing those stories to life. We are looking for stories and projects that find ways to push the modern theatrical landscape and bring in new audiences.

Creative Innovation

We work to serve our greater New Jersey & Chicago artist communities by creating a space where actors, designers, directors can not only learn, but take risks. We place value on process over product and keep our performances free or cheap, and accessible.

Artist Development

We place focus on our artists and their needs. Whether it be directing for the first time or learning how to hang lights, we hope to provide artists with the resources necessary for creating the work they have always wanted to do.
