Saw it last night and had a great time with friends/neighbors. Solid performances from the cast, amazing job with the set, and a great job creating great ambience/welcoming atmosphere from such a raw space. Had dinner at Hamilton Park and got the 10% discount. Enjoyed our community theater. Keep up the good work!

Just a reminder - tonight is our 2 for Thirty promotion.

Buy 2 tickets for only $30.00 total. A savings of $10.00.
Only a few tickets left - so I suggest buying them online to insure you get to see the show.

These are the final 3 performances - we close on Saturday.
Time: 8pm
Location: 252 9th Street, between Jersey Ave and Erie Street.

A comment from an audience member last night:

"Wow. This is the best theater I've seen all year."

I was not impressed with this show. It moved kind of slow and streched out, the storyline was predictable, it lacked any spice, and an episode of Law & Order would have sufficed. High School level with an adult inflection.

Fantastic show! Captivating and a must see!!!!

This is our final week of performances for RACE - tickets are going fast but are still available.
Performances run Wednesday through Saturday - 8pm.

Here is what audiences are saying:

"Wow - I didn't want it to end."

"When I come to J CITY - I EXPECT to be impressed - and each time my expectations are exceeded. J CITY just keeps getting better and better."

"Jersey City is lucky to have a theater like this."

Be sure to catch one of this week's performances - I suggest getting your tickets online to avoid possible sold out shows.

Don't forget our Dinner and A Show packages with local restaurants:


Option 1:
Just as in the past, The Embankment Restaurant is offering their $30.00 prix fixe meal (3 courses!) for those seeing the show later that night. Just tell your waiter you are seeing the show after the meal.

Option 2:
Hamilton Inn is offering 10% off your entire bill (that's right - not a typo: the entire bill) for those seeing the show later that night. Not to be combined with other specials.

Two great ways to support your local restaurants, see a great show, and save money!

Tickets still available for tonight's performance!

Opening weekend was our most successful opening - EVER.

We are thrilled with the response our audiences have for this great show. Typical comment: "I'm coming back. I have to see this show again - Wow!"

Which means....tickets are going fast! Don't wait until the last weekend - Be sure to get yours today - this is one show you don't want to miss!

We start back up tomorrow - RACE runs Wednesday's through Saturday's 8pm.

Hello Everyone!

It's finally here - J CITY Theater opens the NJ Premier of David Mamet's RACE this Friday, Octobery 7th. We are thrilled to invite you to this great production.

RACE, is a legal drama / detective story that follows three lawyers who find themselves defending a rich, white businessman accused of a crime against a young African-American woman. Issues of class, shame, sex, gender, guilt and of course race are all provocatively stirred together in classic ?Mamet? style. As one of America?s leading playwrights, Mamet is doing what he does best: choosing an incendiary topic and then asking more questions than he answers. Race has the quick banter of Mamet?s Glengarry Glen Ross, the gloves-off approach of his Speed The Plow and provocative subject matter of Oleanna.

As the playwright wrote in a recent essay about his work, ?Race, like sex, is a subject on which it is near impossible to tell the truth.? But ?truth? is exactly what the court system demands, which makes a perfect conflict for great theater. Audiences are sure to be debating the issues addressed in Race - long after the curtain has fallen.
