The Department of Theatre and Dance offers a wide array of performance opportunities – ranging from student-generated, independent projects to full-scale Department productions. Students perform in, direct, design, build sets for, and help manage productions that draw thousands of audience members annually.
Tickets generally range from approximately $17-$25. All Montclair State University undergraduate students get (1) one prepaid ticket per production for PEAK Performances, the Department of Theatre and Dance, and the John J. Cali School of Music. Students need to arrange for their ticket in-person at the Alexander Kasser Theater Box Office window by showing their Montclair State University student ID and providing a Montclair State University email address and phone number. Student prepaid tickets cannot be secured over the phone or online.
