Pair of Broadway vets to bring their song and dance to Snug Harbor
July 16, 2010
Tamara Jenkins and Jay Montgomery are building a bridge they hope will stretch from Broadway to Staten Island.

Their group is now the resident company at Veteran's Memorial Hall in the island's 83-acre Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden.

April 19, 2010
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - A bit of Broadway at the ferry terminal?
Commuters couldn't believe it this morning either, when about 30 dancers from the Harbor Lights Theater Company sprung up at the Whitehall Ferry Terminal and treated riders to a newly-recorded version of "Wicked" composer Stephen Schwartz's "Corner of the Sky."Performers jumped up, headed to an open space and proceeded with their dance routine among the bustle of the commute.
"The performance was designed to catch people off guard, to serve as a special treat, and because surprises are fun," said Harbor Lights co-founder and St. George resident Jay Montgomery.

Mr. Montgomery and Ms. Jenkins envision Harbor Lights as a way to draw accomplished acting to Staten Island, permitting actors to practice their craft at home, allowing Islanders to see a quality production without traveling over a bridge or via ferryboat, and promoting Staten Island and Snug Harbor as cultural centers...
"Lights" on the Horizon
March 22, 2010
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Every so often, regular as a comet, some ambitious theater person notices there isn’t as much stage action on the Island as there might be.
Galvanized but ill-equipped, he or she launches a not-for-profit professional theater. The voyage is short, fiscally perilous and unhappy, almost always.
But a better outcome may await the latest try, dubbed the Harbor Lights Theater (“Illuminating the Human Experience”). Tamara Jenkins and Jay Montgomery, the principals of the company, are longtime professional actors, grown-ups well into their 40s and St. George residents...
