NJIT Theatre, Entertainment, and Production & USITT Student Chapter (TEP)
TEP operates as the central hub for students interested in all things theatre at NJIT. While the club operates as one large organization we do have multiple divisions that each pursue a particular sector of theatre arts in broad strokes. TEP as a whole aims to provide a space for which all students interested in theatre can pursue their interests in a safe collaborative way. Our current divisions are TAG, Film, I.T., and USITT. We welcome anyone who is interested in theatre to stop by!
TAG Division:
TAG, which stands for Theater Arts Group, is our broadest division and seeks to encompass everything acting and performance for stage theatre.
Film Division:
The Film Division, as the name states, is focused around short films and film as entertainment.
I.T. Division:
Unfortunately I.T. does not stand for information technology in this division, here the I.T. division is Improv Technicians! This sector within TEP focuses on improvisational theatre or improv for short.
USITT Division:
USITT, United States Institute for Theatre Technology, is a wonderful organization that focuses on the technical side of theatre. They have a yearly conference where there are many seminars and showcases of the developments in technology aimed for theatre and the performing arts.This division focuses on the tech side of theatre like sound, lights, props, and carpentry.

NJIT Giga Beats
Founded in 2014 and originally being called the NJIT Acapella Team, the group now goes by the name the GigaBeats. Accommodating people from all three colleges in University Heights, the GigaBeats have continuously grown as a group, seeking a way to remind all students and Newark residents that music can be made anywhere, even in the deepest of the concrete jungle. They have spread their love of music through their voices and charismatic atmosphere singing genres ranging from Pop to Hip-Hop and R&B and recently, they have attempted to cover more miscellaneous music. Most of their covers can be found on social media, including Instagram and Youtube @njitgigabeats.
