Head to the Theatre

We are very lucky in New Jersey to have so many theatres throughout the state with great programming for kids. Our kids have more access to entertainment than ever; smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices to watch movies or television almost anywhere. However, there's still a magic to live theater that technology cannot replace. Research has shown that kids who attended a high-quality theater production increased their vocabulary, learned about other cultures, and improved their abilities to read other people’s emotions. Check out this line up of theatres to find what’s playing close to you.
