An intimate theatre experience

Small stage productions are the jewels of contemporary American theatre. Those of the Holmdel Theatre Company shine brightly among them. Here, classics of all kinds—from Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream to Arms and the Man and Godspell—engage audiences in a closer, more affecting way. By tackling such challenging, contemporary plays as Arcadia, Reckless and Picasso at the Lapin Agile, we give you a front row seat to the most exciting and imaginative theatre anywhere.

An evening with the Holmdel Theatre Company is relaxed, personal and highly professional. Making this cozy, sophisticated informality possible is The Duncan Smith Theater. Congenial and warm, this historic, 125-year-old barn has been transformed into a modern, fully air-conditioned facility with 99 comfortably cushioned seats.

Named for the late Duncan Smith, a young theatre enthusiast described as "the knot that tied us all together" by colleagues, the Theatre continues to draw actors and audiences closer together in a most remarkable fashion.

Theatre of the heart

A love for theatre sparked the spirited endeavor that has become today's Holmdel Theatre Company. While we've grown in recognition and accomplishment, the Company has never outgrown its heart. Audiences can feel it in the intensity and quality of every performance. It's there for you to experience every time you spend an evening with the Holmdel Theatre Company.

Funding has been made possible in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State and the Monmouth County Arts Council.
