A very nice space, nice theater, nice location. A bit disorganized after a computer hack, but they managed it well.

This regional theater presents very good productions of plays of Shakespeare and some of his contemporaries. Their stage is unfortunately a bit small, so they have to be very creative in their set design. Usually, they do a great job with the space available.There is plenty of free parking just outside of the theater. It is located on the campus of Drew University.It seems to me that every seat in the theater has excellent sight lines. I normally choose to sit in the balcony and every seat there has a great view. There are no pillars to dodge.Heres a hint: for discount prices, go the first week during previews. The ticket price is less than half. AND, order your tickets early because they sell out.

I go all the time. They put on really amazing performances and always handle everything so professionally. A pleasant experience, always.

Pleased to add my voice to the many people who love this theatre. All has been said, but can be reemphasized: wonderful small theatre; dedicated company and professional staff; well-chosen plays ingeniously adapted in details to the current audience; gorgeous sets, and spectacular acting. They put on a series of 6-7 plays each year with about a three-week run per play. Of these, about two each year are Shakespeares. These are thoughtfully made more accessible to all in the audience by visual cues, to better the chance that if you dont catch the phrase, you understand the thought. Been a subscriber for fifteen years, all with our son, who is now 21.

Great show, comfy seats, excellent actors

Their production of The Three Musketeers was Wonderful! I dont think I have ever seen a play where there have been so many swordfights/fencing episodes so skillfully executed! Bravo to the entire cast and production team for this show! ... a night to remember!

Nice venue, not a bad seat in the house, production was excellent as well.

Love play was great cant want to go back in September. Keep up good work staff and cast members amazing jobs.

Amazing preformances. Shakespearvas it should be seen and heard.

I went here to watch their 3 Musketeers play and it was an absolutely enchanting experience! I would highly reccomend this theatre whether its for your first play or 20th, the atmosphere and the actors and the whole play were all above excellent! Definitely looking forward to going back sometime!

Best theatre around, never fails to please.

Love this little theatre. Not a bad seat. Never a bad production.

Saw As You Like It. Great cast and intimate location.

Wonderful theater located on the campus of Drew University in Madison New Jersey. Plays from Shakespeare are their main focus but not their only productions. Seating for up to 300. Intimate feel and allows you to feel as if you are part of the play. You should try to go if you have the opportunity.

Very good place for live theater. Their production of The Three Musketeers was excellent.

I have been season ticket holders for over 10 years and am never disappointed. Exceptional acting and directing. The whole experience is wonderful. Hopefully Ill be going the next 30 years, one of the joys of living in this area!

Outstanding production in a truly intimate setting. Costumes, sets, interpretation, and staging of The Winters Tale were all terrific. I was especially moved by the acting -- I felt like I was watching Shakespearean actors rather than actors performing Shakespeare.

I went to the Kirby theater to see tartuffe. It was a great play. I have a subscription and there are very few plays that disappoint. The theater itself is nice. Its intimate. there are only 10 rows of seats so there isnt a bad seat in the house. You should definitely check it out

Nice place to see a great show

Shakespeare Theater takes on a variety of projects from traditional portrayals to more modern adaptations.STNJ has made a variety of plays and playwrights accessible to me after years of hearing about them. The quality of the show has always been excellent and the cast has always been phenomenal.Heres a little tip if you want to see a lot of shows but you want to be smart with $$: Go to one of the first 2 or 3 nights of a plays run. These shows are full dress rehearsals of the show and allow the actors to see what works in front of an audience. As a result, tickets are $10 instead of $50. I have never been let down by seeing these early shows.

Great plays, good seating, good location.

Very well done every time.. have membership for years. And plan on next year,it is a lovely setting.

I have been coming to these theater productions for more than twenty years with five other friends. Only some of the plays are by Shakespeare. All of the plays are carefully directed with an attention to detail. The sets enhance every production and I would come for the sets alone. The majority of the actors are equity often coming out from New York.I have another theater series in New York but I drive from Bergen County to Madison and would give up my New York series before I would ever give this up. Its a small theater with no bad seats. The Tuesday night after play discussion puts the play and theater in context.

My son works here and I support him by coming to the shows.

Wonderful theatre, friendly accommodating staff, quality productions! A gem to explore!

Thoroughly enjoying a Christmas Carol!

Marvelous!! Wonderful actors, hilarious plot!Shamus ,you really captured the role!Costumes and set perfect for this period piece.

Our first year with a full subscription. We have thoroughly enjoyed every performamce. Great venue. Every seats a winner. Limited snacks/beverages. Small Shakespearean gift shop. This is going to be a new tradition for us.

Great small theater with amazing productions.

I just saw Much Ado About Nothing. I thought the theater and the whole production were great and I would love to go back soon for another play. The theater is a bit smaller than the online seating chart led me to believe, so I think just about any seat is good. Whether you know a lot or a little about Shakespeares works I think youll have a good time.

Just saw another great play here. Definitely worth a visit, or a subscription!

Great theater, great show. Fantastic date night with their $30 under 30 tickets.

Great shows.

Great productions with highly motivated and experienced actors. Always enjoy my selected plays.

Great theater, every seat had a clear view! Acting company is superb. Great stage settings. I adore their directors.

The Shakespeare Theatre greatly contributes to our areas culture. We are lucky to have it.

An excellent place for a real Shakespearean style play. Great actors, realistic sets, and very entertaining.

Wow, what a great play! So well acted and very enjoyable.

Excellent production and performance. Hilarious throughout, terrific fun.

Titus Andronicus was AMAZING! Brian Crowe has great vision..and Bruce Cromer was fantastic as Titus... multi-faceted cleaver performance.

I cant say enough good things about the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. Theres not a bad seat in the house, parking is abundant and free, and the productions themselves rival anything Ive seen on Broadway.

2nd year in a row bringing my grandmother here for her Christmas present. Love the performances they put on, the low cost, and ease of attending!

I saw a staged reading of Enchanted April and I was enchanted ny the performance!

You might think Ben Jonson doesn’t have anything to say to modern audiences, and that whatever he did have to say, he said 400 years ago. In the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s production of his “satiric masterwork” The Alchemist, the audience finds, as director Bonnie Monte says, “the one thing that hasn’t changed is human nature.” In a talkback after the show, a director who’d put on this rarely-produced play free outdoors in Manhattan in 2008 said it made an almost painfully apt commentary on 21st century greed in the midst of the economic crisis.Every variation on wanting something for nothing is displayed by the Londoners who visit the den of the Alchemist and his confederates. The marks are blinded by their fantasies, their lust for gold and, while they’re at it, the favors of one particularly comely young widow. We laugh out loud at their ridiculous and sybaritic pretensions, mainly because we recognize them.For this production, much of the language was updated so modern ears could catch the lightning-fast and witty dialog, and the whole play was cut in about half by eliminating secondary characters and scenes, for modern attention spans (and bladders). It’s still two and a half fast-moving hours. All the acting is excellent, but special mention should be made of the three principal actors: Jon Barker (Face), Bruce Cromer (Subtle: the Alchemist), and Aedin Moloney (Dol Common). Brilliant. In Madison through August 31.
