About TTC:

Originally named the DeBaun Players, The Theater Company is based in Hoboken, NJ, and has been presenting plays since 2000. In June 2007, TTC was awarded Associate Membership with the New Jersey Theatre Alliance - a consortium of professional, not-for-profit theatres in New Jersey that holds the unique position of being the only statewide arts service organization focused solely on professional theater. Additionally, the company is also a founding member of the Hudson County Theatre Alliance. TTC's mission is to produce theatrical productions that are accessible to people of every age, involving a diverse group of people on stage and off.

Recently, TTC announced that they would be ending their residency with DeBaun Center for Performing Arts. "We will no longer be performing all of our shows solely at DeBaun Auditorium, but in an effort to reach out to a broader fan-base, we will be venturing out to various venues throughout Hoboken and Jersey City," says Zimmerman, "so this ‘On Broadway' event is very important for us to get the word out not only about the new season, but about the new face of TTC."
