Jersey City Theater Center’s programming is organized around five core areas that advance our commitment to diverse artistic expression, community engagement, international exchange, new work development, and arts education.
JCTC presents international theatre, dance, multidisciplinary performance, and artists from around the world, creating opportunities for cultural exchange and dialogue between global artists and New Jersey audiences.
JCTC presents music from diverse cultures and traditions, bringing local and international artists together through live performance.
JCTC develops and presents original productions that respond to the contemporary world and explore important social, cultural, and human issues of our time.
JCTC provides artists with space, time, resources, and support to develop new work, experiment creatively, and engage with audiences and communities.
Stories of Greenville is a multidisciplinary community-based program that supports artists, residents, and local businesses in Jersey City’s Greenville neighborhood through workshops, performances, educational programs, and community events.
Black Space is a series highlighting Black culture, artists, leaders, and community voices locally and globally through conversations, performances, and digital programming.
These initiatives create platforms for immigrant artists to connect, collaborate, exchange ideas, build professional relationships, and discuss issues affecting immigrant artists and communities.
In partnership with the New Jersey Play Lab and the Theatre Program at Montclair State University, JCTC supports the development of new theatrical work through an innovative model that brings together playwrights at different stages of their careers.
The program engages artists, audiences, students, and communities in the development process, creating deeper investment in new stories and strengthening New Jersey’s ecosystem for new work.
JCTC provides arts enrichment programs in public schools using theatre, storytelling, writing, movement, and multidisciplinary arts to nurture creativity, communication, confidence, and self-expression.
