About the Theatre

Nutley Little Theatre is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, currently celebrating its 90th consecutive year of bringing live theater to the community. 

In addition to 6 main stage productions, NLT also produces free Readers Theatre play readings. There are many other opportunities at NLT to participate in or see such as fundraising events as well as theatrical workshops at our monthly general meetings.

For 90 years, Nutley Little Theatre has been producing high quality theatrical entertainment for the enjoyment of Nutley residents and surrounding communities. Born in the great Depression, when economic conditions encouraged interest in community activities, Nutley Little Theatre has continued to be a vital community organization for 90 years, and with continued support, it will continue to bring live theatre to the Northern New Jersey area for decades to come.
