About Mile Square Theatre

Who we are and what we do!

Mile Square Theatre was founded in 2003 as a non-profit professional theatre.

We enrich and engage the region through the production of professional theatre and innovative arts education.  Our dance and theatre classes are designed to instill a life-long interest in the arts.

The Theatre traditionally engages thousands of people throughout the Greater Hudson County community each year through a dynamic season of new work, gently used pieces, and a robust series of education and community engagement programs performed at Mile Square Theatre’s 116-seat house.

We build transformative education experiences that enhance teacher practice, deepen student learning, and ignite the present and futures of young people through embracing the arts.

VISION – To be an inclusive theatre that is essential to our community, the nation, and the world.

Mile Square Theatre produces professional theatre year-round – for all ages – and our festival of plays about baseball, 7th Inning Stretch.

Our Dance Academy provides pre-professional dance training in ballet, contemporary, tap, theatre dance, flamenco and hip hop; classes run on an academic-year schedule.

Theatre classes provide skills and techniques around acting, listening, reacting, and performer confidence and skills.   Classes run on an academic-year schedule and include performances.

Mile Square Theatre was founded in 2003 by Chris O’Connor, who led the organization as Artistic Director.
