Education
As a leader in arts education, The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (STNJ) is committed to providing compelling education programs for all ages, with a special focus on identifying and training future generations of audiences and artists.
Today, STNJ offers a variety of interdisciplinary programs for students, educators, artists-in-training, and the general public. Many of these programs are interconnected, designed to lead participants through ascending levels of discovery and potential. After more than 30 years and over 700,000 young people directly impacted by this initiative, the stories abound of children and teachers for whom one of these programs was the springboard for personal growth, transformation, inspiration, as well as for many, a life-long career in the American theatre.
