Queen Nur: Milk & Cookies

Saturday, February 04, 2023 @ 10:00am



State Theatre New Jersey
15 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

In “Folklore, Friends, & Fun,” storyteller Queen Nur—accompanied by international jazz drummer, Dwight James—doles out a basket full of folktales toted on a band of vibrant rhythms. Children will clap their hands and stomp their feet while singing along in this highly engaging performance. The interactive audience will have an immersive experience, participating in call and response all while learning valuable lessons.

Milk & Cookies is a lively, interactive storytelling and music series for families. This program, which takes place in our Studio, is the perfect way to introduce children ages 3-9 to live theater. Plus, includes a cookie and a carton of milk for every child after the show. The 12pm show is a Sensory-Friendly Performance, specially designed to provide a safe, welcoming environment for kids on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivities.
