IN 2025, WE’RE CELEBRATING OUR 20TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON OF PROFESSIONAL THEATRE HERE IN THE HEART OF CAMDEN COUNTY.

Artistic Director Dawn Varava has chosen a fantastic season of shows for all our patrons, past, present, and future, to enjoy.

Beginning in 2015, our country experienced a division unprecedented since, perhaps, the 1850s, when violent clashes in Kansas and beyond existed over whether or not to allow slavery in the new territory. These differences pitted citizens against citizens and families against families, ultimately leading to the Civil War. 

Today, we find ourselves in a similar situation, fighting over things that most of us find central to our Democratic ideal. At the core is a type of Xenophobia and racial intolerance being pushed into the minds of many of our countrymen and women. Fear of ‘the other’ seems to have taken hold in a large population segment.

I cannot understand this because, to me, our differences in color, culture, and ethnicity are things to be cherished—things that make life interesting and exotic. Look at all the wonderful variables in nature and imagine how boring it would be if everything were the same.

I have had the good fortune to travel to many places in the world, and the one thing that I have found to be true is that underneath skin color and cultural and ethnic differences, humans are all the same. We all want the same things for ourselves and our families. We all hurt the same way. We all laugh at things that bring us joy. We all are very human!

We believe the four plays we present to you in our 2025 season, our 20th anniversary, will show you these things that make us the same. Although the characters in the scripts we’ve chosen are different in appearance, location, and upbringing, they all share the very human connection of love and support for family and one another.

We strive in the hope that, in 2025, our beloved America will return to this common humanity.

Every day, people live their little lives in little houses on little streets. A husband looks for his wife; a wife looks for herself; a girl looks for her home; a woman looks for her purpose. All the while, nestled amongst her computers, a scientist finds an answer and gifts the little world a solution to a problem that not everyone has, a variable that not everyone wants varied. At once, each person must contend with the new technology shaking their sleepy world — the voluntary element to life, the choice of whether to have ever existed. The little, vasty dramas of the people’s everyday lives forge on as best they can, infiltrated and overshadowed by the weighty knowledge each soul carries of the choice awaiting them, if only they should choose to take it. This play slides the spectrum from prose to poetry, from farce to tragedy, and stops to smell the roses in between.

The area’s hottest “off-broadway” theatre

The Waterfront South Theatre, located just a block west of Broadway and Ferry Avenues in Camden’s historic Waterfront South neighborhood, is the first free-standing theatre built in Camden, New Jersey, in more than 100 years. This gorgeous state-of-the-art theater was designed to be reminiscent of Walt’s Cafe, the bar that once stood on this corner until 1967. Thanks to the Heart of Camden, The Domenica Foundation, Ignarri Lummis Architects, and others, this grand space has been home to South Camden Theatre Company since the fall of 2010.
