In November 2008 JerseyArts.com invited the public to vote for their favorite nonprofit arts groups in its first annual People’s Choice Awards. The categories ranged from theater and performing arts center, to museum and gallery, to symphony and dance company (along with many more – there were 15 in all). Many organizations rallied their audiences to vote and in total over 2630 people cast their ballot in this year’s awards.

Following are the 4 New Brunswick winners:

Favorite Theater (professional/equity): George Street Playhouse
