NEW WORKS AND ONE ACTS
One Acts:
This annual tradition continues to introduce new works to our audiences. The 2025 One Act Jamboree runs July 25-27 with shows on Friday and Saturday at 8:00pm and Saturday and Sunday at 2:00pm. That's 4 chances to see these unique shows and most importantly a chance to have your voice heard. YOU VOTE on your favorite play, actor, actress and director and the winning play (playwright) gets a $250 cash prize!
Have an original, full length play? We'd love to collaborate and see if we can put it on stage. Contact info@stageworksnj.org with inquiries about producing original full-length work on our stage.
