The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (STNJ), originally called the "New Jersey Shakespeare Festival,” is one of the leading Shakespeare theatres in the nation. It serves approximately 75,000 adults and children annually and is New Jersey's largest professional theatre company dedicated solely to Shakespeare's canon and other classic masterworks.

Through its productions and education programs, the company strives to illuminate the universal and lasting relevance of the classics for contemporary audiences.

The annual Main Stage season, presented in the intimate, state-of-the-art F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the campus of Drew University, runs May through December. An Outdoor Stage production is presented each summer at The Greek Theatre, an open-air amphitheater located on the College of Saint Elizabeth campus in nearby Florham Park.
