The Forum Theatre Arts Center (FTAC) has been central New Jersey's cultural arts hub since 1928 when it was built as a theatre and vaudeville tryout house. Eventually, the FTAC became the neighborhood movie house. In 1983, the theatre was purchased by Marlowe Enterprises, a Metuchen-based corporation and operated by Entr'Acte, Inc. (a non-profit 501c3 corp.) for the next 23 years. At the height of its success, the FTAC was a thriving regional theater, presenting hundreds of American and World Premieres with an emphasis on musical theatre, as well as numerous A-list concert events and children's shows. The FTAC took a two-year hiatus and reopened in June 2009. We are pleased to announce the FTAC has been restored to its original glory, serving as the cultural focal point of central New Jersey.
