“Our daughter has adored being a part of this warm yet ambitious theatrical environment. A perfect introduction to acting and Shakespeare. Child’s Play NY has inspired her to seek out his other work and, I suspect, sparked a lifelong love of the theatre..”
-Susan Van Metre
“This organization is responsible for building up my daughter’s confidence; her ability to memorize difficult scripts and comfort with making mistakes. It has been because of their direction and belief in her— that with commitment and practice—that a child who just had a big personality now wants to be a professional screenwriter and actor.”
-Ty Campbell
“Thanks to Child’s Play NY’s thoughtful, creative programming and gifted, passionate teachers, he is absolutely in love with Shakespeare. Their exuberant, improvisatory approach to the work has led him to relish the music of the language, the vividness of the imagery, the silliness of the humor–not to mention the swashbuckling thrill of the fight scenes! It’s been such a thrill to see our dyslexic child’s confidence, creativity, and love of language and literature blossom under Child’s Play’s sensitive and playful pedagogy. I only wish more children had the privilege of working with them!”
-Elizabeth Giddens
