What Is Included in the NJIT Theatre Arts & Technology Program's 2025-2026 Season?

Updated

The program's site lists a "2025-2026 Season" section and a separate "Next Up" area for what's coming immediately, but the page evidence available here does not spell out the individual productions in that season. What it does document concretely is the first "Next Up" item — auditions for The Director's Project — plus the recurring event categories the program runs: Music Ensemble Concerts, festivals and seminars, and season events. To see the actual season lineup, use the "Current Season" and "Next Up" pages on theatre.njit.edu.

What the site confirms for the season

The Director's Project auditions (first "Next Up" listing)

An evening of short one-acts directed and stage-managed by students. The posted audition windows:

Date Time
October 19–20 6–9 pm
October 21 2:30–5 pm

The page directs interested students to a registration link ("Click HERE for more information and to register"). If you plan to audition, register through that link before the October dates and expect to read for the student directors.

Event categories in the season

  • Music Ensemble Concerts — listed as a standing part of the season/events menu.
  • Festivals & Seminars — also listed under Season → Events.
  • Current Season and Next Up — two separate pages; "Current Season" holds the season listing, "Next Up" holds the nearest auditions and announcements.

Where to find the full season and updates

Use the site's own navigation rather than guessing at titles:

  1. Go to theatre.njit.edu.
  2. Open Season → Current Season for the 2025-2026 production list.
  3. Open Next Up for the next audition or event, such as The Director's Project.
  4. Check Auditions for requirements and sign-up details, and News for changes.

If you're choosing courses alongside the season

The program also advertises three courses it suggests as electives, which may matter if you want to work on productions:

  • THTR 252 – Theatrical Sound Design: the full sound design process, from text analysis and sourcing recordings to editing, manipulation, and composition, with small projects and hands-on work for live theatre.
  • THTR 250 – Theatrical Design Fundamentals: overview of scenic, lighting, costume, sound, and properties design, with exercises and case studies in communicating design ideas.
  • THTR 258 & 361 – Stagecraft: a lecture/workshop on the technical side of mounting productions and events.

The site notes these "may fulfill your requirements" — confirm that with your academic advisor rather than assuming it.

Practical notes

  • The season page as captured here does not list show titles, dates, or ticket information; treat any specific production name you hear elsewhere as unverified until it appears on "Current Season."
  • Audition dates are posted per project, so check "Next Up" again after The Director's Project closes.
  • A student quoted on the homepage describes joining the ensemble, singing, and creating choreography in a first musical — a fair picture of the participation range beyond acting.
