BACKSTAGE WITH THE PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Welcome (or welcome back!) to the Maltz Jupiter Theatre! We may be closing out 2022, but our season is just getting started. We are pleased to present A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, directed by the one and only Jennifer Werner. This bawdy vaudevillian musical is one of the many Broadway gems that Stephen Sondheim created in his long and illustrious career. We truly hope this production will offer something for everyone: a comedy tonight!

‘Tis the season for giving , and we hope you will consider supporting the Maltz Jupiter Theatre with a charitable contribution. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, all donations to the Theatre are tax-deductible. Even the smallest gift leaves a big impact, allowing us to fund community outreach programs and provide scholarships to students. Donations allow us to bring the performing arts to more people in our community, which benefits all of us in turn.

Annual donations of $1,001 or higher grant you entry into our Circle of Friends. Circle Members gain access to the Patty & Bob Hendrickson Imagine Room, as well as invitations to exclusive events, concierge ticket services, reserved parking, and more, depending on your membership level. If you’re ready to join the circle, we have brochures in our lobby with more information.

You can support the Theatre in other ways as well! Tickets make the perfect gift for those hard-toshop-for loved ones. Or, bring along some friends to one of our next Broadway hit productions. We also have a wide variety of limited engagements to fit a range of musical tastes. If you don’t have plans for New Year’s Eve yet, consider ringing in the new year with us and AbbaMania! We have two performances on December 31st that are selling out fast, so don’t wait to secure your seats.

From all of us at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, happy holidays! We hope you will dance into the new year with us during our next production: Sweet Charity
