Theater company seeks room to grow

atl.gmnews.com | Atlanticville: Ramping up efforts to secure a second performance space and room to expand, the New Jersey Repertory Co. is looking at satellite sites outside the city.
Gabor Barabas, executive producer for New Jersey Repertory, confirmed that sites being considered include a property across from the Little Silver Train Station. The theater, which hosts about 20,000 people a year, is currently based at the 70-seat Lumia Theatre at 179 Broadway.
“We are bulging at the seams, and we’re turning people away. We can’t fit them in,” he said.
Barabas, who founded the theater company with his wife SuzAnne Barabas, who is the company’s artistic director, said the intent has always been to expand the theater to a larger, or secondary, location on Broadway, but the plan has never materialized.
