Allows small private theater used for musical or theatrical performances to acquire alcoholic beverage retail license.

Bill A1800 would allow small private theaters (seating under 400 people) that charge admission for live musical or theatrical performances to obtain an alcohol license. Currently, only nonprofit theaters with over 1,000 seats qualify for similar licenses, which permit alcohol service during shows and two hours before/after. This bill specifically authorizes for-profit theaters to serve alcohol during performances and the adjacent time window, requiring municipal approval with oversight from New Jersey's Alcohol Beverage Control division. It removes population-based license restrictions that currently apply to other venues.
