NJ Chapter Director’s Message
Hooray! Thespian Festival weekend is finally here! We have worked very hard
this year to improve our festival and we are hoping that you enjoy every second of it!
This year's theme is Theatre Through the Decades. So much of our current journeys
began with a spark many years ago. Whether you connected with Angel from Rent or
fell in love with Conrad Birdie from Bye Bye Birdie, we have all had shows that have
inspired us. They have awakened our passion for the arts, while at the same time
teaching us many valuable lessons. This year we honor those that came before and led
us to our amazing present.
We are grateful for the troupe directors. We know that each and every day you exceed
the job description in your contracts. Theatre takes a lot of heart, dedication, and
passion. To be a good director you must possess all of this and more. To thank you this
year, we have created a director's lounge. This is a spot for you, for the entire festival.
Please come and have breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Enter to win prizes and take part in
special workshops and surprises.

will also have individual awards!
Our Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights Aids auction will take place throughout the
weekend. During both days we will be auctioning off items and then posting the
