Bold theatre.
Shared purpose.
We make theatre with and for Central New Jersey: musicals, plays, original work, and classes for young performers.

Our mission
Ferrell Studios Community Theatre supports emerging and established theatre artists by creating opportunities for artistic growth, creative expression and community-building.
We produce bold, timely work that starts conversations between the stage and the world around it, and we offer performing arts education for children, teens, young adults and the wider community.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Land acknowledgement
Ferrell Studios operates on the ancestral land of the Munsee Lenape and Lenapehoking People, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.
We recognize the historic Indigenous communities in New Jersey, Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands.
In offering this land acknowledgement, while just a first step, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history, and experiences.
