There's nothing like the thrill of watching a live, in-person performance with fellow enthralled theatergoers and it's never too soon to instill that love of live theater into your little ones. But sometimes the smallest patrons of the arts need shows that are tailored to their interests and attention spans. So it's great that bergenPAC, the iconic performing arts center and leading cultural and arts educational institution in Northern New Jersey, has a full slate of children's events schedule for the 2022 fall/winter season.
bergenPAC kicks off their season on October 14th with Masters of Illusion, based on the hit television show and featuring grand illusions, levitating women, escapes, sleight of hand and vanishes. You won't believe your eyes. Or maybe your eyes won't believe what they're seeing!
Then, on October 15th, spend an hour with Peppa Pig and all her friends on an outdoor adventure full of singing, dancing, games and surprises in Peppa Pig's Adventure. There will be two shows: 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm.
