The Theater Project General Manager Gary Glor (Union, NJ) and actor/director Will Budnikov (Matawan, NJ) are participating for the sixth consecutive year.
(UNION, NJ) -- Theater lovers from New Jersey and beyond have the opportunity to support The Theater Project, a leading incubator for rising talent and a showcase for New Jersey artists, through the non-profit organization's unique FundRacing initiative. Through June 30 supporters can run, walk or bike to enable The Theater Project to continue to bring audiences and artists together to share new work and enjoy area talent.
“This event helps support all our programs,” said The Theater Project’s Founding Artistic Director Mark Spina. “Three annual one-act festivals of new work, a mainstage season, young playwrights program, adult playwrights workshop, actors reading with kids, and so much more.”
Theater supporters are asked to do either a 150-mile Walking, Biking, or Running Fitness Challenge between now and June 30 or a 5K walk/run from June 28-June 30. Supporters receive their own personal fundraising page which they share with friends, family, neighbors and colleagues who ‘sponsor’ the participant.
Walking, Running and Biking Challenger participants can accumulate the 150 miles whenever and wherever they want and are given a Virtual Tracking Map to keep them motivated and sponsors up-to-date.

“This is our sixth year of doing this type of fun fundraising activity and it has become more popular each year,” said TTP board member and FundRacing coordinator Alex Gomez, who has entered the 150-mile Biking Challenge. “We even have entire families participating, supporting our commitment to the arts.”
The Theater Project was founded in 1994. Under the leadership of Mark Spina, Artistic Director, they have provided well-rounded programs on a relatively small budget to audiences who relish and seek out stimulating, new theater. Providing a forum to express ideas that spark the imagination, and challenge the mind is what they strive to do. Encouraging their audiences to think beyond the status quo and elevate the discourses around important contemporary issues is germane to their purpose. Most importantly, their audience is willing to take a chance on a title or author they have never encountered before, knowing they will be engaged, challenged and entertained.
