Since 2013, Play Theater has provided classes, workshops, performance opportunities, and theatrical productions in Union County, New Jersey.  Play Theater gets to the core of what being in a play, and being at play, is all about. Playing is about engaging, amusing, imagining, tampering, cooperating, working as a team, pretending, and, when done right, allowing one to exhaust themselves before reeling it in.
