About this organization
Mission
New York City Children's Theater (formerly Making Books Sing) is a nonprofit organization that creates original, entertaining and enriching theater for young audiences and adults to enjoy together. We believe a city as culturally rich as New York needs a children's theater that produces high-quality original productions and develops robust arts-in-education programs, serving children in all communities across the five boroughs. Our mission is to promote children's literacy and social development through professional theater productions and arts-in-education programs. We demonstrate that engaging young people in the arts has a positive impact on their cognitive, emotional and social development, and furthers a lifelong appreciation of the arts.
About
Making Books Sing reaches a racially and economically diverse population of children and engages them with a full spectrum of theater activities built around children's books, including professional productions and arts-in-education programs in schools, homeless shelters, libraries and community centers across the five boroughs. Each of our programs produces an opportunity to explore social topics and enhance learning through theater.
