Since 2013, Play Theater has been offering classes, workshops, performance opportunities, and theatrical productions in Union County, New Jersey. Play Theater gets to the heart of what being in a play—and being at play—is all about. Playing involves engaging, amusing, imagining, exploring, cooperating, working as a team, pretending, and, when done right, exhausting oneself before reeling it all in.
