Jersey Voices explores the joys of live, original theater in The Chatham Playhouse, where Jersey Voices has provided a venue for New Jersey playwrights to showcase their work since 1995. There's a risk in coming to see any author's new work, whether you've heard of them before or not. It's brave and courageous, and we're grateful our audience trusts us enough to share the experience. Jersey Voices has presented the work of more than 75 authors in their 24 years. "I'm constantly amazed by the talent and creativity of the Playwrights of New Jersey whose plays we get to present every summer", said Co-Producer, Bob Denmark.
