Hello Friends, Theaters, and Members:

Happy 2025!  I don’t get it; the years keep moving on, but we all don’t seem to age! I wish you all the best in this New Year.  It is going to be a great and positive one for all!

We are halfway through the season.  Didn’t we just have the ceremony last week?  I guess time flies when we are having fun!  I know it is a cold, cold January, but we are getting closer to Spring, I promise.  With this said, this is your reminder to our reviewers to please ensure you have your two reviews in for the year.  Theater reps, be checking in with your reviewers to make sure that they are getting those two reviews done as that keeps you eligible for this season! 

You may recall that this fall, we asked for submissions for two new Members at Large. As we have finished the final interview process, the Executive Board of NJACT would like to introduce our two newest Members at Large: Heather Tedesco Pasquale and Dawn Zaleski. With their expertise in many different areas that will help the growth and expansion of NJACT, I know they will help NJACT succeed in its mission to continue to promote community, artistic passion, and education in New Jersey Community Theater.  I want to thank all of our amazing applicants. It was very difficult to choose, and we are thrilled that so many members are as passionate as we are about the vision of NJACT.

As usual, here is my plea to all: make sure to submit your reviews on time and also send in your nominations for Stage Manager, Community Theater of the Year, David P. McMenemie, and Lifetime Achievement.  The holidays are over, but your gift of nomination will make an impact!

I hope you all stay safe and warm. And thank you for all that you do!

With much love and appreciation,
