SPSDW, an educational theatre program that has been presenting musicals since 1972, is currently run in partnership with the South Plainfield Recreation Department. Each year, students involved with SPSDW work onstage and behind the scenes with talented instructors, including those who were in previous shows themselves and are committed to continuing the workshop goals of the program. Additionally, over the years, students who have been involved with SPSDW have continued to perform on stage, as musicians, or backstage in college, local theaters, and even in professional careers.
