What are Play Dates?
While parents and guardians attend a performance, their children have creative fun engaging with childcare professionals in a safe environment onsite at Two River Theater! Play Dates will be offered for free during one Saturday matinee of every show in our 2023/24 season. For children aged 2 months and up.
Questions? Contact Briana Butler, Education Manager at bbutler@trtc.org or call 732-345-1400 x1812.
