The Theater Project, a professional theater company in Cranford and Maplewood, began in 1994 with the goal of bringing productions of the best contemporary plays to New Jersey. Their mission is to enhance the cultural richness of the community by producing new or lesser-known plays on challenging themes, by introducing children to the joys of live theater, and by providing avenues for creative expression for New Jersey playwrights.
