Poster for And Justice For All -MORE INJUSTICE!!!


I just received the posters for our next production "And Justice For All" which is a series of five one act plays dealing with social and political injustice. Last Saturday (the the horrendous wind!) many of our cast and crew gathered on Broadway in Camden for a photo which you can see here.

We purposely took this photo at the spot of the portable methadone clinic that now serves recovering heroin addicts in Camden county. Behind us in the picture is the old NY Shipyard, now South Jersey Port where the city of Camden has threatened to move a permanent methadone clinic in that will serve over 1,000 recovering addicts a day (70% of them from towns in the county, outside of Camden City). This yet another thing dumped on us in Waterfront South that no one wants near their own homes. The present site of the clinic is near Cooper Hospital and that, according to to the powers that be, is no longer the "best location" for the site. It is proper that we are doing a festival about injustice at this time. Please support and work with us to stop this ADDITIONAL injustice from being thrown onto the children and families of the redeveloping Waterfront South neighborhood. See you at the show. Art WILL save us! Heal Camden.

And Justice For All- 2 Weeks Away!!!!

Our new play festival, "And Justice For All' is shaping up very nicely in anticipation of our April 24th opening. We will be presenting five short plays that show different sides of political or social injustice. The plays come from New York , Boston, Chicago, Central Massachusetts and a new play of mine, "Hung Jury" which was written in response to the senseless police killings this past year in Philadelphia. We received over sixty plays from around the world and I hope that you are moved and excited by the plays we are producing. This is our 3rd one act play festival having previously produced play festivals concerning the Iraq War and Non-Traditional Prejudice. This forum gives us the opportunity to present work of established artists as well as new talent and brings new people into the world of SCTC. I hope you will join us and, while you are here, look at the new Waterfront South Theatre that is rising across the street. It is truly an amazing sight!
