Q: I was so sad to hear that you’re moving on. Ty Lane, left, and Brent Harris co-starred in “The Metromaniacs” at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in Madison in 2022. I recently talked to Monte about the pieces that will be presented during her last season, what stands out to her from her career at STNJ and the legacy that she’s leaving behind. She established Shakespeare LIVE!, a touring company that has brought the Bard’s works to approximately 700,000 students.
She took the organization’s budget from $800,000 to $4 million. She landed a partnership with Saint Elizabeth University to use its outdoor amphitheater in Florham Park as a second performance venue. Kean Theatre Factory in Florham Park (the organization’s support facility for behind-the-scenes operations like costume design, set creation and rehearsal). Kirby Shakespeare Theatre at Drew University in Madison, and the creation of the Thomas H. She led the charge during a major renovation and expansion of the company’s main performance venue, the F.M. She has directed more than 90 productions. Monte says she is experiencing “a mixed bag of emotional ups and downs” and that this year “is going to be so chock full of things that I need to deal with, and pay attention to, that I’m actually leaving the future until it arrives, and then I will deal with it.”ĭuring her reign, Monte has racked up quite a list of accomplishments. In February, the theater announced that this year’s season will be her last. Monte’s 33-year tenure as artistic director of the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, her name has become synonymous with the institution.
