NYC Bus Trip - Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026 Join us for this FUN family trip to NYC!
There is nothing quite like a visit to New York City!! Grab a bite to eat at any of the wonderful restaurants in Time Square! Maybe head to Rockefeller Square to do some shopping. Never been to Ellen’s Stardust? We highly recommend this iconic stop. Or, if you are in the mode to celebrate spooky season, head to the Beetle House or Lilli’s Victorian Establishment.
The bus transportation is $100/person. We will leave from NJD at 5 am and return around midnight. We are currently working on group tickets for performance along with a workshop!!! The performance and workshop will be priced separately and are completely OPTIONAL. Everyone is invited to join us! Friends, family, co-workers! All are welcome!!!
Why get in on the bus to NYC? 1) someone else is doing the driving, so you can sleep, watch a movie, play a game or just relax! 2) you can leave belongings on the bus. So, pack that pillow, blanket or even your PJs. 3) No need to worry about parking, tolls and gas! That’s included in the price of the bus. AND, most importantly, 4) you get to spend time with your NJD friends. It’s so fun to be with other theatre nerds in New York City!!!
Note: All students must be accompanied by an adult (18+). In the past, students have come with older siblings or accompanied other parents. We will ask who is the “responsible adult” for all students who register, who are under the age of 18. To register adult companion, create a student account for the adult, and then register them for the bus trip.
NOTE: Register to hold your spot. Do NOT pay yet. We need to confirm that we have met the minimum number in order to pay for the bus! Once we confirm our minimum, we will let you know and run the payment from our end. Invite your friends and family members to join us!!! The more the merrier!
NOTE: 5 am is really not that bad since we turn BACK the clocks that night. So, it’s like meeting at 6 am. Wa-hoo! It’s a win-win!
NOTE: Why not make it a “girls” trip and invite gal friends and their Moms. OR – let’s get the Dads involved and turn it into a “guys” trip to NYC.
The best way to explain the NYC Trip is to give you a sample itinerary of what this jam packed fun day is like!
5:00 AM Meet at the Studio, where the bus is waiting
5:15 AM Leave for NYC
7:30 AM Rest Stop for Coffee and Restrooms
10:30 AM Arrive in Time Square, NYC
10:30 AM (Optional Workshop) (TENTATIVE time – we are working out the details)
NOTE – this explanation is from the 2022 trip. It has been left intentional as we expect the workshop to be “similar”.
This optional workshop session is taught by a Broadway performer from the show the group is seeing during our visit. Sheet music will be provided to the group, who will then work with a cast member and one of Broadway Workshop’s musical directors. The workshop recreates a true Broadway rehearsal with students learning the choreography, staging, and music directly from the Broadway production we are seeing.
Another workshop may be a backstage tour of the set and special effects of the show the group is seeing (it depends on what is available).
12:00 PM Lunch/ Free Time
Grab a bite to eat at any of the wonderful restaurants in Time Square! Maybe stop by Rockefeller to see the tree! Or swing by Macy’s to see their AMAZING Christmas display.

We encourage your family to see a show while in NYC! We offer group tickets the show is based on what is available and if there are workshops available.
