Or go straight to the few New York theatres listed.
Keane Stage at Keane State University in Union County offers "on school time" shows, mostly at their Wilkins Theatre. Much of the 2009-10 schedule was for elementary school age.
Ramapo College also offers quite a few shows listed online and on Field Trip Lists.
State Theatre of NJ in New Brunswick has school-time performances for students through high school. They will only accept ticket requests from groups/schools - so get your friends together and perhaps make up a name. (At the same time I heard a rumor that maybe if you call the day before for a couple of seats and they have them. . .).
