The State Theatre in New Brunswick announced an online Trivia Night for Wednesday, August 19 at 7pm with drag hostess Pissi Myles. Proceeds raised during the zoom challenge will support State Theatre’s Community Engagement programs.

Online Trivia Night will be hosted on Zoom on each participant’s desktop computer and played on a smartphone-based trivia game.
