The program, open to boys and girls, ages to 5 to 11, is where professional actors set up a backdrop, trunk, a few props and the rest is up to the imagination. The plays strive to be sensory-friendly, inclusive, and adaptable to the needs of all participants.

Children can join in by creating characters, choosing their favorite costume, or tapping and clapping along to their favorite tunes!

"We are so excited for this incredible opportunity for our children to engage in interactive theatre. We look forward to great performances!" stated Pete Amadeo, Superintendent of Recreation.

Performances will take place in January. Date and time to be announced. Performances will take place at the Bayonne Museum. More details to follow.

Only Make Believe (OMB) has created interactive theatre with children in hospitals, special education schools, and care facilities. Inspiring joy and imagination, their professional actors engage children with disabilities, fostering social and emotional growth.
