NJPAC Announces Upcoming Kid Shows

New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents Moon Mouse: A Space Odyssey & Popovich Comedy Pet Theater!

Join Marvin the mouse on the space adventure of a lifetime in Lightwire Theater's glow-in-the-dark experience on Saturday, March 3, 2018 2:00 PM! Marvin wants to be popular. Constantly bullied by the "cool" rats, he is labeled a loser and a geek. To escape the continuous badgering, Marvin retreats into his science books and a world of fantasy in which he's the hero. Accompany Marvin on a trip to the moon in his homemade rocket and meet a strange cast of misfit creatures. Will Marvin make his dreams come true and gain the glory and acceptance he craves?

Saturday, March 17, 2018 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM Join former Moscow Circus veteranGregory Popovich featuring the unique blend of comedy and juggling skills and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets! His entourage is composed of world-class jugglers, Diamond the Shetland pony and more than 30 performing pets, including house cats and dogs (all rescued from animal shelters!), geese, white doves and parrots. This is entertainment for the whole family. The Popovich Comedy Pet Theater has a rich performance history, presenting thousands of shows in over 20 countries. The show is currently in its sixth season at the Planet Hollywood Resort/Casino in Las Vegas. Popovich's 2014 independent film, Popovich and the Voice of the Fabled American West, won the Audience Choice Award at the 17th annual Dance with Films Festival in Los Angeles.

NJPAC has a Student RUSH program for select performances. High school and college students may purchase up to two tickets for $10 each upon presentation of a student ID verifying current enrollment.
