About The Forum: The convenience of this historic theatre's location, coupled with affordable quality entertainment, is an incentive for supporters of the arts, near and far, to travel to the brainy Borough of Metuchen to satisfy their entertainment needs. The Forum Theatre has been the Cultural Arts Center of Metuchen since 1928, when it was built and utilized as a Vaudeville tryout house and community theatre. At the height of its success, The Forum was a thriving regional theatre presenting a vast array of top-notch entertainment. After a two-year hiatus, this historic landmark venue is undergoing a grass-roots revival returning headliner and regional live theatre, musicals, concerts, films and more to its Central New Jersey base.

The theatre also serves as a host for special events, presentations and meetings. This fall, the Forum will be offering classes in stage acting, improvisation, scene study, stand-up comedy, screen writing and more, in addition to instrumental music lessons, to enhance the community's access to the arts for both children and adults. The theatre is conveniently located two blocks from the train station and is easily accessible via mass transit. A list of upcoming shows follows. For more information visit www.forumtheatrearts.org
