Thank You to the Finding Nemo Jr. Cast and Crew and Everyone Who Made it a Fantastic Show!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out on Thursday and Friday Night to attend our performances of Finding Nemo Jr. The show was Phenomenal.  Our Cast and Crew went above and beyond to make this show a great experience for all! Thanks to our Sponsors: PSE&G, Greater Bergen Realtors Care Foundation, and Hackensack University Medical Center. It warms our hearts to have your support. Also, we appreciate everyone who placed an ad in our playbill.

Thank you to everyone who attended one of the shows—many of you went to both. To our volunteers who helped throughout this process, especially at the shows, backstage, and at the Concession Stand, checking in our theatergoers and selling tickets and 50/50 tickets! The Rosen Performing Arts Center inside the Wayne YMCA was a great venue to see a show. Thank you to their staff as well!

Friendship House is thrilled to introduce our new Theater Program!

The vision of this program is to provide a supportive, inclusive, and enriching environment where adults with varying abilities can explore their creativity, build their confidence, and foster meaningful connections with their peers. The curriculum will focus on self-expression, communication, and social interactions through the Performing Arts.

Friendship House is partnering with experienced special education professionals to enhance our program’s effectiveness and ensure that our actors feel welcomed, supported, and ready to go on stage!

We look forward to the community coming together for a wonderful Performing Arts experience that will bring smiles to your faces and warmth to your heart.

Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
