Somerset Hills Area School Fall Dramas (2025)
There’s something magical about seeing local students take the stage each fall in the Somerset Hills—the lights dim, the orchestra warms up, and suddenly you’re transported. For young children, these shows are inspiring—a first spark that says, “I could do that!” For teens and adults, they’re uplifting and energizing, a reminder of how powerful live storytelling can be. And for the students on stage and behind the scenes—actors, tech crews, musicians—there’s nothing like performing for a full house of friends and neighbors. You’ll be amazed by the polish and heart these productions deliver—off-Broadway talent without the price tag or the commute.
This guide rounds up high school fall dramas across the Somerset Hills area (Basking Ridge, Bedminster, Berkeley Heights, Bernardsville, Far Hills, Gillette, Gladstone, New Providence, New Vernon, Peapack/Gladstone, Stirling, Warren, and Watchung) with dates and ticket links so you can plan a family night out. Pro tip: buy early (popular shows sell fast), arrive 15–20 minutes before curtain, and check the school’s page for any content advisories or age recommendations. Supporting student theatre is one of the easiest—and most memorable—ways to celebrate our community. Curtain up!
