The Summit Playhouse, founded in 1918 and celebrating our 100th Season, is NJ’s oldest continuously running community theatre. Our season consists of three main stage plays, several youth productions, theatrical workshops and community collaborations. Each production benefits a local outreach, and each year a theater arts award is presented to two high school seniors. Our home, built in 1891, is listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings.
