Who Are We?

The Playground Theatre Project is an outreach program of the premiere acting school of Monmouth County New Jersey:  Actors Playground School of Theatre. Based in Freehold, NJ, we tour schools, youth groups, churches, and communities throughout New Jersey and beyond.

Teaching so many young people has opened our eyes to the problems and issues surrounding our students today. The theatre company was born from a desire to use our artistic abilities to help them by creatively and safely exploring bullying, suicide, drugs, and many other issues. After ten successful years of performance based community outreach, our artistic staff is well-versed in social issue theatre.

What Makes Us Different?

Playground Theatre Project is made up of the most talented young people NJ has to offer. We believe that by offering a peer-to-peer experience, our message will resonate deeper to the students, youth groups, etc. that we are trying to reach. Our company members range in age from 8 years old to adult, with a majority of the group being in their teens.

Playground Theatre Project does not believe is preaching to people about right and wrong. By bringing in their peers, we give our audiences a chance to explore the consequences of their actions in a comfortable environment. Our company members are knowledgeable in the subjects they are portraying and we are always open for discussions with audience members about the subject matter and problem solving ideas.
