‘J CITY THEATER has left the building’
A sweet goodbye to you all.

To all the gracious supporters of J CITY, thank you! Actors, Tech Designers, Stage Managers, Musicians, Publicity, House Managers, Readers, Visual Artists and our Audience. You enabled so brilliantly our success. We treasure your support and friendships. And a special mention for the indomitable spirit of Eileen ‘Beanie’ Gaughan, to whom we owe so much and miss every day.
We have been in the NYC area for 26 years. It has been a joyous, challenging and love-filled time; both tear-stained and Laughter-filled. We will truly miss you.

We’ve come home to our Lexington, KY friends and family and we are looking forward to reconnecting with you in this new chapter!

Our Story

J CITY Theater is a founding company of the Hudson County Theatre Alliance (www.hudsonall.org) and has been producing locally since 2006. Recent productions include Archibald MacLeish’s J.B., Douglas Carter Beane’s As Bees In Honey Drown, and last years smash hit: Regrets Only.

Using the highest of professional standards and the safest of creative environments, J CITY Theater creates quality, high energy, and life-transforming theater. Founded in 2005 by the husband-and-wife team of Executive Producer Clay Cockrell and Director Sandy Cockrell, J CITY Theater’s focus is always on the actor and the story. Their process is to strip away the extraneous in order to reach the core of the story and then to tell it with sophisticated simplicity.
