27 Jul Child’s Play NY
Child’s Play NY theater classes are right for both the child who passionately dreams of being on stage and the one who is simply looking for a joy-filled after school class! These award-winning theater classes empower young people to develop themselves and their skills. Classes prioritize courage and compassion through dramatic arts education: students are given free rein to their imaginations and creative impulses while they learn sophisticated technique from professional performers in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Their production classes are fantastic musicals or Shakespeare shows. With a 12-student cap on each class, students have ample stage-time and maximum growth. Child’s Play NY’s rehearsal process involves improv and research-backed theater games to stoke creativity and develop imaginations. As they mount their scripted show, young people gain skills taught by master teachers and performers at the top of their field.
In dynamic improv classes, students learn the tools to think on their feet, listen and respond with wit, and be creative in the moment. Kids get practice being spontaneous, collaborative and hilarious while making something they can be proud of.

What parents say about Child’s Play NY:
“My daughter has participated in three Shakespeare Players classes so far, and we couldn’t be happier with the program. The Child’s Play team is incredibly supportive and encourages a fun, supportive atmosphere, while also having high expectations for what the kids can accomplish. She looks forward to going every week.” – Natasha W
“Child’s Play NY is a wonderful program that gives children the confidence to try new and intimidating challenges. Their love for the theater and for their students is palpable. The final production was impressive in scope and the effort these young actors put in, but the process was so thoughtful and engaging that it felt like not work at all but fun. A wonderful group of teaching artists run this fabulous program.” – Eliza M
“This is the best theater group for kids in NYC. The team is knowledgeable and creative, and produce wonderful plays with children. They are also amazing at building community with the students—along with acting/theater skills. My daughter has been part of Child’s Play classes for almost 8 years, now. The students are very close and kind/supportive to each other, rejoicing in each other’s triumphs. Best extracurricular in my teenager’s life so far.” – Joy N.
