ABOUT US
Two River Theater Company was founded in 1994 by Joan and Dr. Robert M. Rechnitz. In only its first season, the theater “arrived” (in the words of The New York Times) as an institution of “taste, class, and resilience.” Acclaimed for its productions of American masterpieces, world classics, and contemporary plays by leading writers, Two River has served its audiences as a cultural resource and one of New Jersey’s most respected nonprofit theaters.
Over the years, against national trends of falling subscriptions, Two River has enjoyed a growing patron base of loyal, adventurous audiences. In 2005, the company’s founders led a community effort to build a state-of-the- art, two-stage complex as Two River’s first permanent home. The theater has received numerous accolades throughout its history, including its recent designation as a Major Arts Institution by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
Today, the company is under the leadership of Artistic Director John Dias and Managing Director Michael Hurst. Two River Theater produces an eight-play season of classics, new plays and musicals, and contemporary plays. The work on stage is enhanced by integrated enrichment programs for students and diverse, multigenerational audiences, with opportunities for conversation and deeper engagement taking place at the theater and in community centers and classrooms across our region.
Two River Theater also produces developmental readings and workshops throughout each season to support writers and other artists as they work on new plays and musicals, or look with fresh eyes at the classics. These are free and open to the public, giving audiences opportunities to be part of the creative process.
Noted for its intimacy, exceptional productions, innovative education and community programs, and far-reaching vision, Two River is at the forefront of the American theater. For more information, visit
