November 2026 President's Note

I can’t believe my favorite time of year has come and gone too fast: Halloween.  I am excited for November!  I like to give thanks all year, and especially this month, to all reviewers, theaters, and the NJACT Board.  This season, I hope you all cherish the time with your loved ones, friends, and theater.  That said, I need to thank Rita Greco and Alissa Valiante for all their hard work in making this organization better.  I am grateful for all your service and time. You will be missed. 

These next two months are going to go in the blink of an eye.  I know money is tight and you are finding ways to get gifts for the holidays.  Why not sign up for a show and bring a loved one?  This is a great way to give a gift without paying the high prices of gifts.  I know I am!

The next couple of months, there are going to be some fun-filled events coming out from NJACT.  Please watch out for the emails.  We’re also sending out a questionnaire for NJACT.  I hope you fill out the questionnaire!  I really appreciate it.  

I also can’t believe we are one-third into this season.  Speaking of gifts.  It is never too early to nominate your stage managers, lifetime achievement, and community theater of the year. This is a nice way to recognize all that helps keep theater going. 

This holiday season I hope you enjoy all your loved ones, the holiday season, and theater.  I appreciate all of you in the community.  Let’s keep theater strong and let’s get this party started.
