New York City Children's Theater is the City's premier children's theater, creating new work for ages 2-8 in a variety of styles (musicals, plays, dance, etc.). With a mission to promote children’s literacy and social development through accessible professional theater productions and arts-in-education programs, they create theater productions for families and young audiences. The result is empathetic, creative and independent thinkers who make a positive impact on their world. They produce three new shows per season, most of which take place at Theatre Row located in Midtown Manhattan, and every production offers two sensory-friendly performances.
