Theatre Arts Project Elite performing arts training in Bergen County. We use the crafts of drama, music, and theatre dance to focus on process, not product.

We require professional excellence from our teachers, as both artists and educators. We are ever mindful of the whole student, not just the performer. When each student’s time with us is done our primary hope for them is that they go make the world a better place. We are dedicated to inclusion, diversity, acceptance, and mutual respect. Theatre Arts Project is co-founded by Elena Shaddow and Michael Harrington. Elena was most recently seen on Broadway in THE VISIT with Chita Rivera. Other Broadway credits include THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, THE WOMAN IN WHITE, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, NINE, SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS, and LES MISERABLES. Other professional highlights include being featured as Sister Sophia in NBC's THE SOUND OF MUSIC LIVE, playing Magnolia in SHOWBOAT at London's Royal Albert Hall, and creating the role of Clara for the First National Tour of THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from New York University. Her full bio is at www.elenashaddow.com. Michael studied as a Vocal Performance major at New York University from which he received his Bachelor of Music degree cm laude. He is also a Master of Arts candidate at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study having completed required course credits related to his concentration of directing and contemporary musical theatre. Michael led NYU’s Skirball Center for the Performing Arts as Executive Director from 2007-2015 where he was awarded a Drama Desk Award for presenting the Outstanding Unique Theatrical Experience in 2014. In December of 2015, Michael joined Long Island University as University Director of Arts Advancement. His passion for the performing arts and belief in its transformative potential has taken him around the globe working with artists from China, Australia, Germany, Italy, Israel, and more.
