It's Almost Thanksgiving! Happy November!

Hello NJ Community Theater members!

I can’t believe we are one month after the 2023 Perry Awards and just weeks away from Thanksgiving!  How did this happen?  Time certainly flies when you are having fun! I am still reeling from a great ceremony at the Strand.  I am happy to have shared this event with great family, friends, and fellow NJ thespians!   

With one event in the rearview mirror, the Board is already working on the 2024 Perry Awards.  The board never stops!  November and December are busy months; between holidays, vacations, and parties, there is a lot going on.  With this there are still shows being put up.  A Christmas present for me would be to have all these shows reviewed so we aren’t going crazy to find coverage for it or have to ask for videos.  Please share this holiday season with a friend to see a show.  It is a free gift for you and your friend.  Who doesn’t like a free gift?  If it is free it is for me! The plea has already gone out for November and December shows, so theaters please post your shows ASAP and reviews please sign up for them!

We are not only getting shows reviewed for this new season, but we are also already asking for submissions for the nominations for stage managers, Community Theater of the year, Lifetime Achievement, and the David P. McMenemie Award.  While doing a show or just finishing a show, please send in your nomination for stage manager.   Please send in as soon as possible so you remember all of the wonderful things they did and can be put on that submission.

I am happy to see shows getting reviewed, nominations coming in, and getting ready for the next ceremony!  Also, look out for updates of what NJACT is doing for additional events.  I hope all of you have a happy and safe holiday season this year.

 

With much love and appreciation,

PJ Campacci
President, New Jersey Association of Community Theaters
