Maltz Jupiter Theatre Sets the Stage for Community Involvement

From volunteer opportunities to youth education and a new season of shows, community members of all ages are encouraged to get involved with the performing arts 

Opportunities abound for community members age nine to 99 at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre!  This August, the newly renovated, world-renowned regional theatre will be hosting multiple events where locals can explore their talents while supporting the not-for-profit organization. Beginning with a volunteer open house, then the official kick-off of single ticket sales for the 2022/2023 season, and followed by a chance for children to be a part one of this season’s professional productions, community members of all ages and walks of life are encouraged to join in on the fun!

“Although the last few years have been challenging for the performing arts, we wouldn’t have been able to make it through the tough times without the amazing community and support we have in Jupiter,” said Andrew Kato, Producing Artistic Director and Chief Executive at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. “As we embark on a tremendous upcoming season of shows, musicals, and special events, we are honored to open our doors to this community and serve as a connection to exciting opportunities through live theatre.” 

Creative Open Opportunities for Volunteers 

From their support backstage with productions, to caring for patrons at the box office, or serving attendees at special events, the people who volunteer at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre are an integral part of the organization’s success. As the new season approaches, the Theatre is seeking new faces to join the current “cast” of volunteers, offering jobs based on talents, skills and interests. On Saturday, August 13 from 12:00-3:00pm EST, community members are welcome to participate in a Volunteer Open House event to learn about the numerous ways in which they can get involved. Theatre staff will be on hand to represent each department within the organization providing insight on how volunteers keep each production running. Subsequent to the Open House, attendees who elected to continue through the volunteer process will receive an invite to sign up for a group intake session to become an official volunteer.

Take The “First Step to Stardom” 

Kids won’t want to miss the chance to join one of this season’s Broadway-scale professional productions! The Theatre will be hosting its “First Step to Stardom” audition day on August 27th starting at 10am, offering roles for dozens of students ages 7-17 to be cast in Jersey Boys and Oliver!. 

Participants will learn a simple dance combination and will be coached in singing a short song. After a few practice rounds, those auditioning will be escorted to the brand new Maltz Jupiter Theatre stage to perform the song and dance combination for consideration.  After each participant has auditioned, the casting professionals will determine which children have earned a spot in one of the upcoming Broadway hits being performed this season and the opportunity to work with Tony® Award Nominated Director and Choreographer, Marcia Milgram Dodge, and two-time Tony® Award Nominated Director and Choreographer, Denis Jones. 

“This is intended to be a fun and memorable event for kids as they explore the world of performing arts,” said Maltz Jupiter Theatre Company Manager, Eloisa Ferrer.  “It is an opportunity to learn from some of the best directors and choreographers in the business in a stress-free environment, where they can experience the thrill of performing on stage.”

Each audition room will have multiple adults present throughout the day to support the children. Students selected to perform in the season productions must be available for rehearsals leading up to the shows and be present for each performance during its run.  More information and participant registration will be available starting August 4 on the Maltz Jupiter Theatre website. 

Broadway Hits Are Back – Single Tickets on Sale August 22! 

The wait is finally over!  Tickets for single shows and musicals in the much-anticipated 2022/2023 season will go on sale August 22 at 10am. With a brand new, state-of-the-art facility and some of the most entertaining, reimagined Broadway hits to grace the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s stage, each show promises an extraordinary experience for theatre lovers and those looking for a fun night out. 

“Patrons have various purchasing options at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre as we offer single show tickets to see one performance, and subscriptions to see every show during a season,” mentioned Kato.  “We are so excited to open single show ticketing options to the public on August 22, as many people will be experiencing our organization for the first time.  However, since we have been closed for over two years, some truly fantastic seating options for subscribers have opened up at discounted prices, so there really has never been a better time to enjoy every exciting show we have in store this season!”

The 2022/2023 season will open with Jersey Boys (October 25 – November 13), which takes theatergoers behind the music as Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons make it out of New Jersey and into the heights of stardom. Next will be A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (November 29 – December 18), which tells the story of an ancient Roman slave named Pseudolus who wants his freedom, and his master that wants a girlfriend.

The first show of 2023 will be Sweet Charity (January 10 – 29), which follows the story of Charity Hope Valentine, a dance hall hostess in search of her true love. This fabulous high-energy, dance-filled, comedic musical from creative genius Neil Simon, is sure to keep audiences tapping their feet and giggling in their seats. Taking place after that is Good People (February 12 – 26), the Tony Award®-nominated dramatic comedy that captures working class American struggles and hopes, with dynamic characters and the right balance of hard truths and charming wit. To close out the first full season in the new Theatre, patrons will enjoy Oliver! (March 14 – April 2). Based on the Charles Dickens classic novel, Lionel Bart’s Oliver! is a Tony® and Olivier Award®-winning musical about one boy’s search for family.
