Mission and programs · 2024

• Program Service Weekday Performances Field Trips to Theaters: During the fiscal year, the organization developed and presented original theatrical productions for children from pre-K to 4th grade. Performances in theaters reached 14,500 children throughout the NYC and Tri-State area over 30 dates throughout the season. These productions emphasized accessibility, audience participation, and age-appropriate storytelling, advancing the organizations mission to introduce young people to the arts through live perfromance. As part of our commitment to accessibility, we reached 500 deaf children (Lexington School for the Deaf), with the aid of sign language interpreters.

P.S. 20 has a predominantly Asian, Hispanic, ESL/ELL and POC population, which is served by this partnership.
