For the audience It's a quality performance. I don't think…read moreyou will be disappointed in the caliber of these kids. $15 per ticket for adults, $10 for 18 and under. It's a little pricey for a local children's performance, but meanwhile, pretty darn good show. For the actors It's a BIG time commitment. Four days a week, three hours each rehearsal. Three school nights and one weekend day. The environment is so chaotic that I don't think it's reasonable to expect to get any homework done. And pack dinner for yourself. For my daughter, it was a great getting to know all the other kids and forming friendships. It's a very supportive community. She will miss the friends she has made. For the parents Be prepared, this is one of the most disorganized and unprofessional groups I've ever been involved with. Communication is poor, spotty and forget about contacting them via email or phone, I reached out five times in five months (twice in response to emails they sent me) - nothing back, from any of them. My suggestion is to be at every rehearsal in order to ensure you get all the information you need. It's a chaotic environment, I get that, but a chaotic environment that the kids don't even enjoy. Very specific rehearsal schedule with my daughter often coming home that night to say that was not what they rehearsed and that she did nothing performance related for three hours. Pretty frustrating as an actor and a parent. And I do realize that trying to get a large group of kids organized has got to be pretty darn challenging. I totally recognize that what's not great for parents is often wonderful for kids. It wasn't until the last month of rehearsals that my daughter began to enjoy herself, meanwhile that means four months of her dreading it each night. A co-worker of mine had her son working the performance on the tech side. He's student at Summit High School and reported to his mom that the BEAT director was not nice to the Summit staff. The co-worker told me this unsolicited, I hadn't even mentioned my daughter's involvement with BEAT. Other than that, seemingly nice enough people. Just......wow, just need to get it together on the admin side. Pack a snack for your kiddo, it's going to be a long season.

TWB stands for Theatre with (Beer &/or Balls) according to the header on their Mission Statement…read more That alone might suggest what you're in for if you attend a TWB production! Our first experience with TWB was last night when we attended a performance of their production of the Louis LaRusso play "Lamppost Reunion". We were fans of the skill of the acting company, a really talented group of local men (in this case, an all male cast) and well staged and directed for this single set, three act play. We think the actors were, frankly, better than the material provided through the play's script. But we were glad to have discovered TWB and wanted to pass along the "heads up" to others. (In particular since one of the talented actors who spoke with us after the performance urged us and the friends we were with to "tell your friends". Yelp friends first! :-) ) You can find more information about the run of Lamppost Reunion at the TWB Productions web site as well as more about the troupe and their mission of "cultivating a new audience" for live theater performance. Note that the theme of the current play is adult and the Hoboken Bar circa 1950 something (?) setting has language that some may find off putting. Frankly, we've long been live theater fans from our days in NY and SF and all stops in between. So no need to convince us of the fun of live theater. But had we known more about the play we probably would not have attended this production. And that would have been too bad as we enjoyed seeing these good actors at their craft. As for the current play, Lamppost Reunion, we're not prudes, one Brooklyn NY born and raised and both with experience living in NJ :-), but two plus hours of a script heavy on scatological references, jokes about penis size and the f-word isn't our thing. No doubt a bunch of drunk men at a Hoboken bar may have used all of those things in a two hour discourse to reslolve long standing interpersonal issues, but we wouldn't have wanted to sit through it in the bar either. Whether or not their next production choice will fit better with our preferences for attending we don't know. In the meantime, if the language and theme of the play aren't barriers for you...this is a fun and talented group of actors to watch. The current production is on a schedule of two nights a week and staged at the McMenamin's St. Francis school in one of the rooms next to the theater there. Open for seating an hour before "curtain", food and beverages are available before and during the production. Although one eats the food at McMenamin's at their own peril! We had happy hour dinner elsewhere before the show and beverages during. And it's worth noting that the McMenamins servers were VERY professional and did a great job of staying "under the radar" so as not to interfere with viewing the play even as they served during it.
