Child's Play NY

About

At Child’s Play NY our mission is to empower the next generation through the theatrical arts. Through our programming, we uplift student voices, ignite curiosity, and center compassion. We seek deep truths about the characters we embody, and the stories we tell. The work is both a mirror for self-reflection and a doorway through which we travel for a deeper understanding of other perspectives. We strive for an inclusive theater space where young people are seen and create their own stories. We center empathy and practice leading with kindness. Through the exploration of different points of view, we gain a better understanding of the world we live in and the world we envision. We believe that young people can become more engaged and empathic participants in our world through profound engagement in the creative process. Child’s Play NY is committed to uplifting underrepresented voices in the arts and envisioning a more equitable future. In theater productions, classes and educational workshops we seek to reach all children and in doing so, support the next generation of compassionate, collaborative change-makers.
