We are a community theater that does all kinds of shows; straight plays, musical, improv, talent shows, & children shows. We even have our own playwright group for those who are interested in writing plays. The Grange Playhouse puts on a wide range of original shows written by our Grange Playwrights and other local talented writers as well as classics in the public domain. The Grange Playhouse is an extension of The Southard Grange #218 in Howell. It was built in the late 19th century, as a schoolhouse. What is the grange? A National Organization, non-profit fraternal order of farmers and patrons of husbandry. We are one of the few and active granges left in New Jersey.
