McKenna Pope in 2024, at City Theatrical's Manufacturing Office in Carlstadt, NJ

"Never sell yourself short and have confidence in your abilities. Get connected with the tech community. When you see a shot, take it! It's especially easy for us as women to undervalue ourselves and our contributions. Remember to always take a step back and remind yourself that you are intelligent, capable, and awesome!"

Giving Back for Thanksgiving with the Community Foodbank of New Jersey

City Theatrical team (right) volunteering at CFBNJ

Happy Thanksgiving! To celebrate this year, City Theatrical team members sought to create a meaningful impact on local hunger by volunteering with the Community Foodbank of New Jersey (CFBNJ). Our team spent time volunteering at the Hillside Kitchen in Hillside, New Jersey, which supports feeding local seniors and children, especially on the weekends when there is less access to meals at school.



City Theatrical employees came together to give back as volunteers and do good for the community and, in turn, learned about themselves, and why it's critically important to dedicate time to the fight against hunger. We also had a lot of fun!
