Over 150 kids and their families filled the Arden’s lobby on Saturday, May 7th for the opening night celebration of The Flea and the Professor. Kids earned stamps on a BINGO card as the made their way around the party, participating in many circus-themed activities including a juggling game, face-painting, a knock-over-the-cans challenge, and an Arden Drama School class, “Create Your Own Circus.” The Garden State Discovery Museum brought their popular giant-bubble and children had the opportunity to create their own hot air balloon at the craft table. The opening night performance began at 7pm, followed by reception hosted by The Franklin Fountain, featuring cotton candy flavored ice cream.
