City Theatrical's 40th Celebration in New Jersey

City Theatrical team members and family celebrating 40 years of innovation and shared success.

On 29 July, City Theatrical celebrated its 40th Anniversary at our New Jersey headquarters, bringing together current and former employees, friends, and partners to celebrate four decades of innovation, collaboration, and shared success.


The day was filled with live music from the City Theatrical Band, delicious food from local food trucks, an ice cream truck, and fun prize-winning games. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, reflect on our journey, and thank everyone who has contributed to our success.
