PTW has a new theatre home!

We're thrilled to announce we’ve just purchased PTW's brand new building — your new theatre home — at 131 Millburn Avenue in Millburn, New Jersey.

For nearly 40 years, PTW has been theatre home to countless students from Livingston to Lyndhurst, and now our home is expanding. 

Inside our new state-of-the-art facility, we’ll serve every member of our growing performing arts hamlet in ways that support their dreams on and off the stage.  With your help, we can create a space where new and veteran PTW students will grow as artists and flourish as individuals. 

Floor-to-ceiling soundproofing — by way of double-pane laminate soundproof windows, double layer of QuietRock on walls and ceilings, extra insulation between rooms and solid core soundproof doors — reflects only one of PTW’s many intended upgrades. 

Students will enjoy unprecedented access to the following features: 
* 3 expansive classrooms complete with full-length dance mirrors, mounted speakers
*  Sound-proof partitions that create up to 5 spacious rehearsal spaces
* Sprung Harlequin dance floors for comfort and joint/muscle protection during extended rehearsal hours
* Private lesson studios for our growing roster of talent
* 2 recording studios with digital editing capabilities 
      ~ One optimized to serve voiceover and vocal recording work
      ~ One equipped with a Canon DSLR camera & video lights to provide professional video self-tape recordings
* Student lounge and parent lobby complete with WiFi
* Central air and heating in all rooms
* 2 grand pianos
* 2 upright pianos
* 12 Yamaha touch-sensitive keyboards
* 4 restrooms 

Families will discover a whole new level of convenience in the following upgrades: 
* Parking lot that accommodates full-size vehicles, with dedicated drop-off spots 
* Coffee + espresso bar open all day️ :-)
* Hardwood doors with windows into all studios and classrooms 
* Outdoor seating area during the warmer months 
* Short walk from the Millburn train station 
* Less than 2-minute drive from The Mill and St. George’s Church

Our inexhaustible faculty + staff will continue to flourish among the following amenities: 
* 3 separate office spaces 
* Staff lounge 
* Bus stop in front of the building 

We will continue to have Saturday classes at St. George’s Church in Maplewood.  

We invite you to join us for the Grand Opening of our new theatre home in the spring.

On behalf of everyone at PTW, we appreciate your contribution to our GoFundMe Capital Improvement Campaign: #yourtheatrehome. An estimate of $75,000 will offset the expenses to renovate 131 Millburn Ave. with these state-of-the-art building features. Your support and generosity will empower us to launch our new space with the vital enhancements our students deserve. 

Our goal is to raise the full amount by February 5, so we can begin our spring semester in our new theatre home.
