Online Trivia Night will be hosted on Zoom on each participant's desktop computer and played on the smartphone-based trivia game APP called Kahoot.

Holiday Online Trivia Night on Wednesday, December 9 at 7pm, will include questions on classic movies like Frosty the Snowman and Miracle on 34th Street to songs like "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," and more.
This special holiday trivia is hosted by State Theatre's own, the larger-than-life Suzie the Elf. Suzie loves Christmas, candy canes, gumdrops, narwhals, and trivia!
State Theatre's ongoing online Trivia series began in August 2020 with a popular, sold-out 2000s-themed trivia hosted by drag queen, comedian, and singer Pissi Myles. Online Trivia Nights benefit State Theatre's Community Engagement Programs and are a great way to get friends and family together virtually for a game and a good time. Trivia Nights will be added throughout the season. For more information on State Theatre's Online Trivia Nights please visit STNJ.org/TriviaNights
