Who We Are
History and Mission
The Livingston Theatre Company, Rutgers' Premiere Musical Theatre Organization, is a home for theatrical arts at Rutgers University. Founded in the fall of 1998, the LTC provides quality and accessible musical theater to Rutgers students and the communities of Central New Jersey.
Membership and Involvement
The Livingston Theatre Company is open to all undergraduate students of Rutgers University, regardless of college affiliation or major. We encourage all students to take part in productions and attend our open meetings, special events, shows, and auditions. We have opportunities for actors, directors, designers, stage crew, musicians, and student leaders. Each year, hundreds of students from across the university get involved in our main stage productions. If you are interested, come to our General Interest Meeting during the opening weeks of each semester.
Productions
The Livingston Theatre Company produces three musicals per year. Our productions run for several performances over one weekend. Throughout our storied history, productions have taken place in the College Hall of the Livingston Student Center (both new and old), as well as Crossroads Theater in the theater district of downtown New Brunswick, New Jersey. We are committed to showcasing a diverse range of musicals on our stage, from beloved classics to hidden gems.
Student Leadership
The Livingston Theatre Company is completely run by undergraduate students at Rutgers University in New Brunswick from all schools. The head of the company is a five member Executive Board, which is elected by the membership, and a General Board that is appointed by the Executive Board following applications and interviews. Anyone may apply, and selection is based on experience and enthusiasm. Production positions such as directors, choreographers, musical directors, stage managers, and designers and technicians are filled for specific productions via application and interviews. Anyone interested in becoming a part of the company, in any position, should check out the Getting Involved link on the navigation page for more information.
LTC Alumni
The LTC is proud to have built a strong and ever-growing network of alumni who continue to support the organization long after their time on stage has ended. Whether they’re attending shows, mentoring current members, or simply cheering us on from afar, our alumni play an important role in keeping the LTC community thriving. We’re always thrilled to welcome them back and feel incredibly grateful for the continued encouragement and support they offer.
