Theatre tells stories that make us think and feel. It brings people together and helps cities grow stronger. But live theatre needs support to keep the stage lights on.
For more than 50 years, George Street Playhouse has produced bold new plays, powerful classics, and shows that have gone on to Broadway. It has helped shape New Brunswick’s arts scene and continues to give audiences meaningful stories year after year.
The 2026 Gala will take place on May 6, 2026, beginning with a reception at Catherine Lombardi/Stage Left and ending with a special cabaret performance at NBPAC. The evening will also honor community leaders who have made a lasting impact on the arts.
When you attend, you help support new productions, arts education, and the future of live theatre in New Jersey.
