Nurture Empathetic, Creative, and Independent Thinkers of the Future
Changing Kids Lives Through Theater
Every time we enter a theater, classroom, shelter, or community center we meet creative, inquisitive young people eager to engage with our empathy and literacy-building programs. NYCCT is awed by the potential of NYC’s children who inspire us to celebrate NYC’s diverse communities and model strong values.
With your help, we can nurture even more young people to be empathetic, creative, and independent thinkers who make a positive impact on their world.

Expand Community Outreach
High-quality cultural experiences are often concentrated in zip codes that many New Yorkers simply cannot reach.
