Every year, New Victory provides more kids with more live performing arts in more grades than any other arts organization in New York City. Invite us into your classrooms, gather digital content, or schedule a field trip to the historic New Victory Theater to see theater, dance, music, circus, opera and puppetry from across the country and around the world.
The mission of the New Victory, making theater and performance part of kids' lives, is the best example I can think of, of the power of a simple idea.
