The quality of the performances is not quite at the Broadway level, but the prices are good and the theatre is quite intimate. Snacks during intermission are only $1, which can't be beat. And they have a nice selection of food and drink. Parking is not easy, but it ends up manageable. I highly recommend becoming a member of the theatre, as the yearly membership price is comparable to the cost of one ticket. There are many opportunities for volunteers to usher or help out in other ways. There is a handicapped bathroom on the main floor, but it seems that it would be difficult to maneuver a wheelchair or walker in the tiny aisles.

For those of us who enjoy good quality community playhouse productions, this theater group does an outstanding job. What I like most is that they give an opportunity to community members to tryout to be part of their productions. The results are always good.

How did I not stumble across this theater before!!…read more My child received a promotion flyer and discount code from her special needs school. We decided to give this a shot. So glad we did. We saw Pete the Cat. This was a friendly sensory performance. Upon arrival, children were given a bag with chips, juicy juice, napkin and a Kean university sensory ball. Nice touch Kean! In the lobby you had various stations set up for children. These stations provided hands on activities for children such as creating their own bookmark to bouncing on a sensory ball. College students participated assisting guests. The theater is not huge. It is big enough to sit comfortably and have ample walking space. We sat near the back and even from there we had a good view of the performance. I recommend purchasing your tickets at their box office. You can purchase tickets online; yet, you can avoid the processing fee if done in person.

They are season ticket holders so they get a deal on tickets. I would highly suggest seeing if you qualify for any discounted tickets since they seem to have a number of programs set up (I once got $30 tickets before being younger than 30 years old). They have a close parking lot that you can pay for but we walked from a public lot not too far away. It's a zoo with people existing by foot/ cars trying to leave the lots so just know it may take a bit of time for that short walk if you use one of their lots. They have a little concession counter that you can buy snacks at as well as bathrooms available though we didn't use either. The play itself was spectacular. The entire cast is talented- acting, singing, and dancing were top notch. The sets were well thought out and the music was unbelievable. I love that we have an incredible play house right in our backyard here in NJ! We will definitely be returning!

I just attended the mattered of West Side Story. Excellent! What an amazing production…read more The theatre is located in Milburn, NJ. There are several parking lots and a nearby train station plus a public bus which make this playhouse accessible via a variety of transportation. (The nearest lots fill up fast, so plan your arrival time.) The parking fee is $12 if you use any of the theatre's lots. There was (as is expected) a long entry line. More staff is needed to move the line along more quickly. The elderly and those with mobility challenges were allowed to bypass the long line and gain immediate entry. The lobby sells snacks and drinks that can be purchased before the show or during intermission. There are ushers to help you find your seats and a very friendly young man helped me at the souvenir counter. The lighting and acoustics appeared modern in my limited opinion. The feel of the auditorium was that of the traditional theatre setting with the rich burgundy drapery and snug plush seats. There is an odd pitch to the floor which makes walking to orchestra seating a little awkward because of the slant. So keep this in mind if you are a little shaky on your feet. I have a delightful experience here and I hope to return for future productions.

The stage play area itself is now called the Arthur Laurents Theatre. The room is very cozy and intimate. It feels a tad smaller than the old Crossroads theatre but not by much. It was a great show. Lighting and sound quality are top notch and seating is very comfortable. I recommend supporting this company because the production quality has always been high and because it is so important to support the smaller, local theatre scene.

If today's performance was any indication of the quality of what goes on there, I am going back a lot. Community theater is alive and well in Somerset. The acting, vocals, music, sets and costuming was beyond. I have seen many, many Broadway performances and, quite honestly at $20 per ticket and avoiding the schlep into Manhattan, this offers as much if not more entertainment value. It certainly equalled or exceeded anything I have seen at Bergen PAC or Papermill. If anyone reading this review is even remotely considering attending a performance at this gem, I recommend purchasing tickets now.

And the quality of the Avenue Q production was well over the top!!!!! The concession stand is inexpensive, but they were out of many things on the menu.
