Theatre Collective
Theatre Collective is committed to producing successful theater with minimal technical requirements and budget. This allows us to focus on the content of the work itself. We allow BA Theater Studies students to create art and use the talents they learn in class.
The program is part of the Department’s initiative to foster a performance culture at Montclair State that embraces multiple modes of creativity. Some things we focus on are lighting, students’ original work, exploring innovative performance techniques, directing, and experimenting with new dramatic material. The possibilities for theatrical expression are almost limitless.

The Theatre Collective creative team will accept student proposals for the upcoming semester. Students will submit a project to be reviewed through a Google Form before the semester begins, and this piece of art will be considered by the team. If approved, all directors will attend Theatre Collective’s general auditions to cast their show. The director is responsible for their rehearsal schedule up until opening in a Life Hall studio space with the support of the Theatre Collective team! Shows may have no more than 8 actors, and must have minimal budget and technical elements.
Theatre Collective is an opportunity for student actors, directors, playwrights, and designers to develop and hone their artistic voice for self-expression.
